For the first time, the Cancer Institute NSW hosted a “virtual” link-up to enable rural cancer services and their health professionals to contribute to a facilitated discussion on building effective rural cancer services for the future.

The event was facilitated through video conferencing, connecting various rural sites via the NSW Health Telehealth network to explore the current challenges in delivering cancer services in regional and rural NSW.  It included a "real life" rural patient scenario and interactive panel discussion mediated by Dr Norman Swan to discuss models of care, programs and funding / policy directions which aim to improve rural cancer service delivery.  There was also an opportunity for "virtual" participants to contribute their comments and questions for discussion.

Evaluation results are available online here.
