EPISODE 11 - Vessel Health and Preservation in Cancer Care

We discuss practical research and patient perspectives, along with how to maximise device selection, secure dressings and first-time insertion. We also talk about the evidence-based guidelines created for cancer care that are now available, as well as PROs to ensure that we understand the patient experience better.

Associate Professor Nicole Gavin, Clinician and Researcher in Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant is joined by Kerrie Curtis, Cancer Care Nurse at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Austin Health; Emily Larsen, Research fellow at Griffith University and the RBWH and Penny Comans, Bachelor of Psychology (Honors) and a cancer survivor with a special interest in research about shared decision making.
