Pre-Conference Workshops

The Australian Real World Evidence Network for Cancer (Pan Cancer) is a multi-million-dollar initiative aimed at transforming cancer care by harmonising the collection and reporting of patient-reported measures (PRMs) across the cancer sector. This work is part of the Australian Cancer Plan and is a partnership between Cancer Australia and Movember. As part of the Pan Cancer initiative, a core set of patient-reported measures (PROMs and PREMs) will be identified for use across the Australian cancer sector through a sector-wide consensus process, as well as the creation of national benchmarking platform and a national advocacy campaign for PRMs.

The proposed workshop PAN CANCER: Building sector-wide PRM integration is aligned with the six advocacy priority areas identified by the COSA PRO Working Group in 2023 and will build upon this work, with a focus on PRM implementation.

This workshop is focused on gathering input from a multidisciplinary group of healthcare providers to guide the Pan Cancer initiative.

Key topics include:

• PROM domains important for all cancers – considerations & prioritisation

• Equity and inclusivity

• Benchmarking & visualisation of PRMs to drive change

• Connecting PRMs to information that supports people with cancer

Speakers:

• Sarah Weller; Movember; Global Director, Prostate Cancer

• Carolyn Mazariego; University of New South Wales; Senior Research Fellow

• Professor Bogda Koczwara; Flinders University; Professor, Flinders Health & Medical Research Institute

Please note: This workshop will now be held in Central Room A, GCCEC.
