A nurse-led project allowing nurses from care homes to shadow frailty specialists at a hospital, and vice versa, has been hailed as a great success in helping to improve care and communication.

Powerful session on caregiver burden. A reminder that supporting older adults with cancer means supporting their caregivers too. Very relevant to our work in COPS. @SIOGorg #siog2025

[Cancer Older Peoples Service WOS Cancer Centre @COPSBEATSON]

Presenting our evaluation of COPS at SIOG 2025. Our findings show improved treatment adherence, earlier ID of functional decline, better support for complex needs & cost savings for cancer services. #SIOG2025

An important step in building an evidence base for OT in geri-oncology. #SIOG2025
