Consumer cancer resources online

Cancer Australia has released two new websites intended to increase the involvement of people affected by cancer in efforts to control the disease. 

The Consumer Learning website is designed to enhance consumer knowledge and confidence to participate in cancer research and clinical trials. It contains short online learning modules and video presentations to guide consumers who are seeking to participate in clinical trials and research.

The Consumer Involvement Toolkit is based on the National Framework for Consumer Involvement in Cancer Control, and supports CEOs, managers, health professionals, researchers and policy makers to effectively involve consumers in their organisation’s work. It provides user friendly tools including case studies, templates and checklists, aimed at helping to engage and involve people affected by cancer.
