Super excited to share my new project: Supportive Care Matters podcast. First episode brings together all my favourite things: running, feminism and patient partnership! Check it out https://t.co/vs8VwwGDnA

This is the culmination of a year long project and our first collaboration with @DaffodilCentre. The report reveals the disruption in cancer treatment and care caused by the pandemic to inform future improvements

[Cancer Council Victoria @CancerVic]

Cancer is hard, and the pandemic made it even harder. The Cancer, COVID-19 + You Report, developed with @DaffodilCentre provides a detailed look at the cancer care experiences of more than 300 Victorians during the pandemic. View the full report: https://t.co/uqAqC6Fo1Q

#wcc2022 day 2 and I’ll be presenting alongside colleagues on the agile response of @CancerVic to provide information and support during the pandemic. If you are attending, please join us in room 3 at 2pm. Thrilled to join a terrific lineup of speakers in the session

Congratulations to @ChristieAnn02 for a great presentation on your work with Tarishi Desai on improving the inclusion of culturally and linguistically diverse populations in clinical trials #WCC2022 @McCabe_Centre @CancerVic

@kenjilopezcueva sharing three campaigns in Mexico promoting the use of the law to tackle cancer. Includes fighting for #UnDiaContraElCancer, a law which gives workers one day off a year to attend cancer screening checks, so far adopted by 3/32 states #wcc2022

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

@hellisjones from @McCabe_Centre giving a great overview of the role of universal health coverage, when currently half of the worlds population do not have access to the health care they need, and cancer treatment and support may not be generally available #wcc2022

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

Update: Look out for #wicc in 2024/2025!

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

@garvey_gail described the origins of the World Indigenous Cancer Conference in 2016, to privilege the voice of Indigenous peoples, build global connections and support tailored action at a local level. Look out for #wicc2023 in NZ #wcc2022

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

Alejandra de Cima put a spotlight on Mexico, where 70% of women with breast cancer are diagnosed late and 52% of the population live under the poverty line. So she is working to get a cancer act legislated to make a bigger difference to outcomes #wcc2022

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

Powerful plenary from @DavewithGRYT telling of his experience with cancer as patient, researcher and caregiver. His dad had a saying that fits with the work we are all doing in cancer control: ‘The difficult we do immediately, the impossible just takes a bit longer’ #WCC2022

[Amanda Piper (she/her) @AmandaPiper_au]

Cancer is hard, COVID-19 made it even harder. The pandemic forced many changes in healthcare– some were for the better, others weren’t. Share your cancer experience during COVID-19 & help us improve cancer care for all Victorians. Take this survey today https://t.co/Sr8CemhGtU

@PeterMacCC Congratulations Mary and how moving to hear Matthew’s story. This interview shows just how terrific you are as a nurse specialist, and the vital role of nurses in the cancer care team
