Improving the lives of people affected by cancer

One of MPCCC’s key strengths in its capacity as a consortium is the ability to create forums in which a diverse range of health professionals across a number of organisations can connect and collaborate. In doing so, MPCCC inspires focused programs of work.

The real potential of impactful reform provides a positive outlook after a most challenging year. The MPCCC’s Executive group has worked to realise new collaborative cancer improvement opportunities across our own partnership and across the state including metropolitan-based cancer centres and regional healthcare providers.

This year has been extraordinary in many ways for the SMICS team. We are proud to have been able to support our member health services in various service improvement initiatives regardless, even during the COVID-19 pandemic with various restrictions in place.

Working in partnership continues to be a priority, with COVID-19 research being a main driver this year. Monash Partners’ engagement with the community has identified strong support for the continuation of telehealth, informing government and funding priorities.
