Implementing survivorship models of care

Embed and Spread was a statewide project funded by the Victorian Department of Health and led by the Australian Cancer Survivorship Centre (ACSC) in collaboration with Cancer Council Victoria and implementation support from the VICS.

A pilot of the Colorectal Cancer Partnered Survivorship Care Plan, which guides early-stage CRC survivors as they transition from active treatment to surveillance care, is underway at Monash Health.

WCMICS is piloting a standardised approach to survivorship within nurse-led clinics, using a needs assessment to guide development of tailored survivorship care plan as part of routine discharge planning.

Supported by a GICS grant, this projects' aim was to introduce a sustainable survivorship clinic at the Wimmera Cancer Centre in Horsham.

PICS developed 2 survivorship resources and implemented these across Monash Children’s Hospital and The Royal Children’s Hospital.

A project to better support patients transitioning from end of active treatment into self-management/survivorship care.

A NEMICS service improvement grant supported Northern Health to develop a cancer survivorship care program

A survivorship care planning stepped-approach pilot project was implemented at GV Health, as part of the Victorian Statewide Collaboration to Improve Cancer Survivorship Care.

This strategic partnership between the VICS and the Australian Cancer Survivorship Centre facilitated a statewide approach to high-quality survivorship care.
