Scoping Culturally Responsive Models of Care for Pancreatic Cancer

Scoping Culturally Responsive Models of Care for Pancreatic Cancer

This Cancer Australia–funded consultancy project, led by Dr Abbey Diaz, will consider culturally responsive models of care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with pancreatic cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer and other complex cancers.

Our work involves a review of existing literature to identify existing models of care and consultation with key stakeholders to discuss the feasibility of various models for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Recommendations will be made to Cancer Australia on potential opportunities to improve the cultural responsiveness of care for pancreatic and upper GI cancers in the short and longer term.
