Survivors who have received a blood or marrow transplant (BMT) require life-long follow-up care and support, however evidence-based assessments of long-term models of care are scarce. This qualitative descriptive study explored the perspectives of blood and marrow transplant (BMT) specialist nurses and physicians, and General Practitioners (GPs) regarding the long-term management and follow-up care of BMT survivors.

It is well established that people diagnosed with cancer often experience poor mental health, yet there are still inequities in access to appropriate care and support. This study set out to explore perceptions and experiences of mental health support, including facilitators and barriers, among people with cancer to help inform national cancer policy development in Australia. CNSA's Policy Officer, Dr Clare Lynex, is the lead author of this interesting and relevant piece of research.
