CNSA is proudly partnering with GICaNN, Pancare Foundation and Bowel Cancer Australia to create this community of practice for cancer nurses looking to learn collaborate and share information in relation to gastro-intestinal cancers. The knowledge shared and gained through this CoP will improve patient outcome, reduce anxiery, and enhance survivorship experiences.
The purpose of the CoP will be to:
- Upskill nurses working in gastro-intestinal cancers in specific symptom management, survivorship, and holistic care.
- Build a community for nurses working with patients with gastro-intestinal cancers.
- Provide accessible education through multiple formats (podcasts, webinars, communities of practice, Congress presence).
- Increase visibility of gastro-intestinal cancers and available resources within the CNSA membership and wider cancer nursing community.
- Foster collaboration between CNSA, and the nursing workforce to improve long-term patient outcomes.
