Age friendly cancer care. What does it mean and how is it achieved?

The COSA Geriatric Oncology Group is pleased to partner with CNSA for the 2024 “Older persons with cancer collaborative webinar series”.

The COSA Geriatric Oncology Group is pleased to partner with CNSA for the 2024 “Older persons with cancer collaborative webinar series”, presenting this insightful webinar on the application of the Age-friendly care framework in cancer treatment.

Join us for an engaging session facilitated by COSA Geriatric Oncology Group Executive member, Dr Polly Dufton, a Clinical Nurse Consultant and Nurse Researcher at Austin Health. Dr Dufton will be joined by presenters Professor Irene Blackberry and Associate Professor Christopher Steer.

In this 60-minute webinar, Associate Professor Christopher Steer will describe what age-friendly care is using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s 4Ms model (mobility, medication, mind and what matters). He will then discuss how age-friendly care has been implemented at a regional cancer centre, and how it can be applied more broadly in cancer care. Professor Irene Blackberry will share her experiences from visiting North American cancer centres and the innovative ways they incorporate the 4Ms of age-friendly care.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into tailoring cancer treatment for older adults using age-friendly care principles, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care that addresses the unique needs of this population.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from leading experts in the field and enhance your understanding of age-friendly cancer care.
