Throwback, March 2016
A Committee Member made a study
visit (self funded) to a number of cancer institutions in Melbourne. This
includes the Cancer Council Victoria to attend a session on “Patient Information That You Can Trust”.
Other institutions visited were: Leukemia
Foundation, Gynecological Cancer Center, Peter McCallum’s Australian Cancer
Survivorship Center (ACSC), and BreaCan. These visits were scheduled with
intent to develop linkages with the said institutions and as well as to gain
learning experiences that can be developed for improving KanWork’s services.
One of the visit’s agendas was on information
and education support. All institutions visited had kindly given a copy of
their latest publications for KanWork’s members and public reference (please
visit KanWork’s website for list of publications).
An outcome of the visit to ACSC was
the implementation of KanWork’s “My
Story Project”. The first article, “Nine Years of Happiness” is now
available on KanWork’s website. A learning experience gained from BreaCan was
towards the development of KanWork’s volunteers.
Thank you to all institutions for
the warm hospitality, information and learning resources. We look forward to a
long-term collaboration.
