Yarning About Cultural Safety (YACS)

Yarning About Cultural Safety (YACS)

The Yarning About Cultural Safety (YACS) study aims to understand the views and experiences of First Nations people with cancer receiving treatment through Metro South Health Princess Alexandra Hospital Division of Cancer Services. 

This project will deliver Metro South Health with effective and appropriate strategies (to address challenges to accessing cancer care for First Nations Australians) that are equitable, accessible, culturally appropriate and support the wellbeing of First Nations cancer survivors along the cancer care continuum. 

This program of work is lead by Ms Khwanruethai Ngampromwongse and is funded by a Metro South Health Research Support Scheme Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Novice Researcher Grant (2023-2024).
