Oesophagogastric Cancer Action Register 2024

The VICS have released a plan to address 20 unwarranted variations in oesophagogastric cancer care and outcomes in Victoria – improving quality and equity of care for patients across the state.

The Victorian Oesophagogastric Cancer Action Register captures 19 recommended actions for the VICS and individual Integrated Cancer Services (ICS) to address 20 unwarranted variations that were identified and prioritised through a 9-month strategic consultation with hundreds of stakeholders across Victoria.

The register also captures work being led by other key cancer stakeholders – the Victorian Department of Health, Cancer Council Victoria, Data Connect, and The Pancare Foundation – that may have direct and indirect impacts on the identified unwarranted variations.

If you are involved in care and support for Victorians affected by oesophagogastric cancer, look through the actions at the link below and contact your local ICS about how you can be part of improving equity and quality of care in your area.
