Improving equity of care across Australia for patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL)

MacHSR Future Leaders Fellowship Program (cohort 1).

Treatment journeys are individualised for CTCL patients and disparity exists in the provision of care for patients with these rare malignancies between Australian states and territories, and between regional and metropolitan areas. For those treated outside of a quaternary centre, such as Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, access to higher levels of specialised care and the opportunity to participate in clinical trials is limited.

This project will explore impediments to equitable access to care with a view to finding solutions that can be effectively implemented, improving equity of care whilst maintaining a patient-centric focus.
