Managing blood cancer between hospital, home and community

Many people report feelings of uncertainty after leaving the familiarity of hospital care. New questions arise as you take on more responsibility for managing your care at home.
* What is the new relationship with your treating team?
* What information will you need?
* Where do you start looking for support?
* Who will work with you to help manage your blood cancer and health now?
* What about if you live in a rural or remote area?
In this webinar we discussed some of these commonly asked questions and provided practical information on who to ask, what to ask and how to get started on managing your health and wellbeing at home.
Topics included:
* Understanding the role of your GP in ongoing care
* How to manage your own health and recovery
* What to consider when planning your future care needs
* The unique needs of managing blood cancer in rural and remote communities
Our guest speakers:
* Professor Jon Emery (University of Melbourne)
* Ron Middleton (Toowoomba Hospital)
* Fiona (Living with MDS)
