Peter Mac offers opportunities for continuing professional development in cancer care for general practitioners and specialists throughout the year.
Specialists
Peter Mac offers regular opportunities for suitably qualified clinicians to visit Peter Mac, for limited periods, to observe work undertaken by a range of cancer experts. For further information call the Peter Mac switchboard on 03 8559 5000 and ask to speak to the chair of the relevant service.
Late Effects Care Program
The Late Effects service has a shared care program whereby survivors of complex cancer therapy at risk of long-term complications have their management undertaken jointly by the hospital team and their GP.
GPs are provided with information and support to manage the complex care needs of their patients; videoconferencing is available to support ongoing management.
Guidelines for the screening and surveillance of late effects of cancer treatments are available: Late Effects of Cancer Treatment Screening and Surveillance Guidelines for GPs.
