EPISODE 18: The Redevelopment of the Australian Cancer Nursing Framework

This year's Congress saw Dr Carla Thamm present a keynote plenary session on the Comprehensive Cancer Nursing Framework. The project undertaken in partnership between CNSA and Flinders University has now progressed to the evaluation phase, and an invitation will be sent to cancer nurses to review and evaluate the draft Framework shortly.

This month on Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care Jemma Still, CEO of CNSA, Professor Catherine Paterson and Dr. Carla Thamm of Flinders University, and Associate Professor Gemma McErlean from the University of Wollongong and St George Hospital, discuss how and why we have redeveloped the Australian Cancer Nursing Framework.

From comprehensive research, feedback with our cancer nurse focus groups and the Education Standing Committee, the CNSA have grounded the framework in real-world practice baseline principles. Learn what the framework can do for you and how a nurse at any level can use it to guide their development and career planning.
