Contribution of Cancer Nurses Position Statement

On Cancer Nurses Day, the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia is calling for greater recognition of cancer nurses as strong, skilled and specialised professionals who are central to the delivery of high-quality cancer care.

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has released the initial draft of the 3rd Edition of the NSQHS for consultation

Australia’s cancer nursing workforce now has a contemporary national capability framework. In this episode hosted by CNSA CEO Jemma Still, Dr Carla Thamm, Professor Gemma McErlean, Nikki Dean and Dr Pammie Ellem reflect on why the Australian Cancer Nursing Capability Framework, or AusCaN Framework, was needed, how it was developed and what it could mean for cancer nurses, educators and health services.

Thanks to our partnership with MooGoo Skincare, eight outstanding cancer nurses have been awarded a combined $34K in scholarship funding to support their post graduate study and professional development.
