Senior Adult Oncology Study Day

Cancer is a disease of ageing, and its management may be more complex in older individuals.

The study day is aimed at doctors, nurses, allied health care professionals and pharmacists working with older adults with cancer.

This study day will aim to discuss the rationale for an integrated and comprehensive oncogeriatric care approach for older adults diagnosed with cancer and how this can be implemented in various settings and highlight the role of multiple professions to optimize outcomes for this population. The study day will draw on expertise from our patients as well as colleagues from medical, nursing, allied healthcare and pharmacy professions, along with specialists in medical oncology, palliative care and psychology.
