Realising the rights and roles of Australian cancer patients: - applying the stakeholder lens
Patient-centred care is widely talked about from all corners of the cancer community.
Yet, the feedback we often get from patients is that this is often a right that is "given" to them at some point in their journey, rather than recognising it as being a fundamental human right that should be integrated throughout their cancer care.
How can we address the challenges so that the fundamental rights of patients are recognised, and the clinical integrity of the diagnosis, management and treatment journey are maintained?
Join us as we ignite lively discussion and debate around this topic by exploring the different perspectives that influence it.
