Nurses integrating optimal survivorship care: it's everyone's business

Facilitated by Prof Ray Chan, this webinar included three presentations and a facilitated panel discussion. The three 10 minute presentations illustrated nurses integrating survivorship care in three different care settings followed by a Q&A. Then our three panel members, including a consumer, joined for a facilitated panel discussion based on the key messages delivered in the presentations.

During this session, participants developed an understanding of:

• • Awareness and understanding of how survivorship care aligns with different nursing roles
  • Awareness of coordination and communication between nurses and other healthcare providers as essential to ensuring optimal survivorship care
  • The role of nurses to identify unmet needs and customise survivorship care
  • Confidence in when/how to initiate discussions about survivorship and common issues, and
  • Direct learners to evidence-based tools and supports
