Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre shared Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA)’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Proud to stand behind the new Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) –Cancer Nurses Society Of Australia (CNSA) Position Statement on the Contribution of Nurses in Cancer Survivorship Care — not just as a document, but as a bold call to action that recognises the heart of cancer care: our nurses.
At Peter Mac, we see every day how nurses transform the cancer journey, supporting survivors with symptom management, navigation of complex health systems, emotional wellbeing, self-management and long-term follow-up.
Professor Michael Jefford, Director of the Australian Cancer Survivorship Centre at Peter Mac and a national and international leader in survivorship care, played a key role in shaping this work. His commitment to evidence, collaboration and patient-centred practice has helped drive national momentum to recognise and strengthen the role of nurses in survivorship care.
The evidence shows that nurse-led models deliver outcomes that matter – for patients and for our health system.”
Quoting Clinical Oncology Society of Australia‘s post:
“For World Cancer Day, COSA and CNSA have released a joint position statement on the contribution of nurses to cancer survivorship care in Australia, with recommendations for strengthening survivorship care nationally.
The theme of World Cancer Day is ‘United by Unique‘, placing people at the centre of care and their stories at the heart of the conversation. This joint statement recognises that high-quality survivorship care is delivered within a multidisciplinary system, and that nurses are central to ensuring that care is coordinated, equitable, accessible and person-centred across the cancer continuum.
