Exploring the Perception and Decision-Making Process of Palliative Care among Haematology Malignancy Patients and Their Family Caregivers: An Integrative Review

Breakthrough cancer pain (BtCP) is common—but often inconsistently recognised and managed in practice. A newly published Australian gap analysis, developed by a national working group of palliative care clinicians, examines current challenges in how BtCP is defined, diagnosed, and treated across settings.

eviQ has announced a brand new learning resource on Immune Effector Cell-associated Neurotoxicity (ICANS), aimed at health professionals involved in the care of patients receiving CAR T-cell or T-cell engaging therapies. 

In this episode of Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, we have collaborated with Palliative Care Nurses Australia to talk about the real, human side of end‑of‑life cancer care. They explore what palliative care nursing really involves, how oncology and palliative teams can work together, and practical ways to respond when patients and families ask confronting questions like “Am I dying?”

Our members continue to shape cancer care with powerful new research—from fragile evidence in prehabilitation and fresh directions in survivorship theory, to health economics, workforce outcomes, and innovative clinical protocols.

eviQ is redeveloping their foundational 'Introduction to haematology and blood and marrow transplantation' course. They are currently seeking input into the course redesign and content and invite members to complete the short needs analysis survey.
