Survivorship doesn’t end with treatment. Explore the late effects of cancer care—how they impact physical, emotional, and social wellbeing—and why recognising and managing them is key to long-term health.
This Cancer Nurses Day, CNSA's NSW Mid North Coast State Group invite you to a unique survivorship focused dinner event.
As cancer survival rates continue to improve, the focus of care is extending beyond treatment completion to the lifelong health and wellbeing of cancer survivors. But who is responsible for coordinating survivorship care? Is it the oncologist, the general practitioner, specialist nurses, allied health professionals, or the survivor themselves? Join us for an engaging education dinner as we explore the evolving landscape of cancer survivorship.
This session will examine the challenges and opportunities of shared care, the management of long-term and late effects of cancer treatment, and the roles of healthcare professionals across the continuum of care. Through discussion and expert insights, we will consider how collaboration can support survivors to achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life.
This dinner event is ideal for any health professional with an interest in oncology, primary care, and survivorship planning. Together, we'll tackle the question: "Cancer Survivorship: Whose Responsibility Is It?"
