You're Invited: Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trial Group’s one-day workshop for Cancer Nurses & Study Coordinators + Annual Scientific Meeting
Speciality workshop, 24 November

The 'Connected Care: Elevating Trials Through Practical Collaboration' workshop, on 24 November, is for all clinical trial study coordinators and cancer nurses.

This workshop is designed to accelerate professional growth and development and is structured into four distinct sections:

  • Governance – NOSS/Accreditation
  • Making Quality of Life Data Meaningful
  • Integrated Care in Survivorship
  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Practice - Building Collaborative Teams Across the Patient Journey: Through a dynamic panel-led discussion, the last session of the day will explore how collaborative multidisciplinary teams can be embedded across the patient journey. Panellists will examine real-world strategies for building strong partnerships between specialists, nurses, allied health, Indigenous health workers, and primary care—emphasising practical integration, community engagement, and equity in access.

Key contributors: Andrew McFadzen, Bruce Cheek, Bogda Koczwara, Carrie-Anne Ng, Catherine Trevaskis, Chris Karapetis, Daniel Johnstone, Jodie Collins, Margaret Whitson, Nina Scott, Shona Edwards, Victoria Rutten, Victoria Thompson and more.

Why attend?

“Attending the AGITG conference was absolutely phenomenal. Being from a rural/regional centre is often challenging to stay in contact as much as we'd like.

This conference combined the collaborations and learnings in the clinical field, which were excellent, however the cultural learnings that were shared ... was particularly interesting.

As always, the networking with colleagues and industry was perfect and very enjoyable.”

Testimonial from 2023 delegate Carmel O’Kane, Cancer Nurse Practitioner at Wimmera Heath Care Group

“I particularly found the study coordinator workshop helpful to my role and have bought back quite a few ideas on how to improve our current practices.

I really enjoyed the panel discussions, real life experiences from the patient’s perspective and of course meeting new people. 

I would recommend anyone from my team to attend next year.”

 


Testimonial from 2024 delegate Emma Dimitri, Team Leader at Monash Health
