eviQ Education update

 Rapid learning: Understanding systemic anti-cancer therapy - for radiation oncology staff

Our new rapid learning is designed to give staff working in radiation oncology an understanding of how systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACT) may impact patients receiving concurrent radiation therapy. The new mini-module highlights the timing of radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy and describes possible side effects. 

Learn how to better care for and support your patients receiving concurrent SACT and radiation therapy.

Facilitator in Focus

"I am the Clinical Facilitator for Cancer Care Services Rockhampton.  This service is quite small and we have regular staff who are all trained by me.  I also train the nurses in our regional centres and act as a resource for them plus other areas of the hospital.

My manager allows me to entertain myself by developing education resources for staff and patients as I see a need for them. I had fun writing a little booklet about the history of cancer and cancer treatments over the centuries, and this year organised a Cancer Clinical Symposium. I am lucky to have managers who agree to my ‘projects’!

During my reading I often find interesting bits of information.  For example, I recently found an article on generic drugs and the different fillers companies use and the amounts of ethanol in the taxanes.  I print these out and use the articles to facilitate discussion in an informal way. I am lucky enough to work with a motivated team who love their work". 

We're coming to WA - and we want to visit you!

eviQ and eviQ Education teams will be in Perth for the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia (COSA) conference from 12 to 15 November and would love to visit our eviQ Education facilitators and present to nursing staff! Please let us know if you would  be happy for us to deliver some education and we will arrange a suitable time.
