Dr Kristi Milley spoke to Dr Rebecca Bergin research fellow at the Cancer Council Victoria and member of PC4’s Early Researcher Career Network.
Rebecca recently published a paper in the journal of Cancer Policy entitled “Optimal care pathways: A national policy to improve quality of cancer care and address inequalities in cancer outcomes?"
Rebecca highlights that the OCPs specify the key features of cancer care across the whole pathway - from prevention to end of life. Rebecca emphasises that primary care is an integral part of the OCPs and explains how they have had a unifying effect in Australia in establishing the best cancer care that all people should receive.
