Allied health professionals can work with patients at all stages of their cancer journey, from diagnosis and treatment through to survivorship and palliative care (if required). These services are a range of evidence based, patient-centred and specialist services both within the hospital inpatient wards and in the outpatient setting. Allied health services undertake comprehensive assessment, intervention, and care planning to optimise a patients function and wellbeing.
Professional disciplines who make up cancer allied health services with us are:
-
nutrition
-
pastoral care
-
physiotherapy
-
occupational therapy
-
speech pathology
-
music therapy
-
exercise physiology.
Research in these professional areas ensures that patients, their families and carers benefit from high-quality evidence based service.
