And that’s a wrap with #IPOS2022. It’s been an amazing experience being able to see people in-person again, learning about new and brilliant psychosocial work whilst having such awesome touristy fun in an amazing city. Bring on #IPOS2023 💪🏽

More fantastic #AYAcancer work by @javer097 around oscillations in living in liminal space as an AYA with Advanced Cancer - food for thought for healthcare providers #IPOS2022

[Dr Azhani Amiruddin @zayni]

Spectacular presentation by @Mc_Fin on @CanteenAus findings of AYA males having higher distress levels if they moved out of home in comparison to females - interesting to keep in mind for clinical implications 🧐 #ipos2022 #ayacancer

Good morning to everyone in Toronto except for the person who set off the fire alarm at 4am #IPOS2022

@PerriTutelman @DrSophielebel @LamarcheJani @mayaastern @Doc_Peper @SchulteFiona @vickyyyf @donnaPE Oh wow we must catch up when you’re here!

[Dr Azhani Amiruddin @zayni]

@cancer_K2A I stayed up throughout the flight and had a melatonin before sleeping last night and it seems to have done the trick! But I’m having constant coffee since morning and always can have another!

[Dr Azhani Amiruddin @zayni]

.@Mc_Fin was a very convincing AYA in role play! #ipos2022

Canadians may genuinely be the nicest people on earth, considering I’ve had strangers complimenting my clothes and hair despite being on a plane for 20+ hours. I’ve got a good feeling about #ipos2022 #iposcapo2022

[Brittany McGill, PhD @BrittanycMcGill]

Rounding off a great session at #ANZCHOG2022 with @zayni on working with AYA cancer patients from diverse backgrounds w/ complex #mentalhealth needs. Take home: Assess + intervene in areas of attachment, self-esteem + the social “systems” the AYA operates in (incl. the hospital)

[Brittany McGill, PhD @BrittanycMcGill]

Clinical gems c/o @justinnbaker: - ✨parents who don’t acknowledge that their child is dying should not be thought of as “in denial”
✨hope is dialectical: parents can understand the reality of the situation AND have hope (whatever that means to them, on that day) #ANZCHOG2022

[Ursula Sansom-Daly, PhD @usansomdaly]

The brilliant @jefardell + Dr Karen McLeary (Kids Cancer Centre) showcase the ASSET study tracking #ChildCancer patients’ #QoL in real-time while on treatment 🙌🏻 great potential to lead to early intervention & provision of #PsyOnc & supportive care interventions 💪🏻 #ANZCHOG2022

[Dr Azhani Amiruddin @zayni]

Looking forward to this talk about the Neuropsychological effects for children and AYA with cancer at the pre-ASM nursing workshop #ANZCHOG2022

[Dr Azhani Amiruddin @zayni]

It’s been a strong start to #ANZCHOG2022 with the pre-ASM talks. Managed to sneak into the Nursing Workshop to learn about the importance of shared responsibility of difficult conversations and new Australian-tailored tools for #AYA care . Brilliant @usansomdaly!
