Sept 4th PM Optional Tour Olivia Newton John Centre - Austin Hospital

Delegates to meet at 1.45 level 2 ( Radiation Oncology) Olivia Newton John Cancer Centre

This workshop will focus on long term follow-up solutions for prostate and breast cancer patients. By collaborating with colleagues, practical ways to improve patient’s transition from the acute treatment setting into follow-up will be shared.

·Increase new patient access to oncology services

·Reduce variation in follow-up protocols, both clinical and psychosocial, to improve patient outcomes

· Determine the most appropriate personnel and settings for follow-up, including Wellness Centres

· Determine the business case ‘Wellness Centres”
