Registrations are now open for the 2024 Sarcoma Symposium.
November 8th
Kerry Packer Theatre,
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital,
Missenden Road,
Camperdown
1:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
This is a hybrid event, and if you are unable to attend in person you are welcome to contribute online.
There will be an open forum, an expert panel of both those living with sarcoma, carers and sarcoma clinicians at approximately 2.20. The audience is encouraged to participate via Slido as the aim is to have as many perspectives as there are people wishing to provide them.
Topics for discussion this year:
Should genomic screening form part of a standard of care for all sarcoma patients? Why? When should it occur? Will this change the treatment plan?
Should information about all relevant clinical trials be provided to patients at the time of diagnosis? How? By who? Where should this be available? In what format? Why?
How can we as a collective enhance community awareness of sarcoma to help reduce the instance of misdiagnosis?
What education is needed? For who in particular? allied health, GP’s Physiotherapists, dentists etc? How do we do this? forums, webinars. brochures?
What are the most important elements of support from the moment of diagnosis from a patient/family perspective?
Who should provide that support? How can we use technology to enhance the support provided? Would a similar model to that of the McGrath Breast Care Nurses work for sarcoma? Why?
We look forward to welcoming you on the 8th, and to provide you with an event which encourages networking and open, robust discussion for those living with sarcoma.
All clinicians, researchers, carers, family, patients, allied health professionals and those volunteering with sarcoma working are invited to attend the day, and to have their voices heard. Please feel free to share this link.
