Dr Jerram Bateman: Study author on finding shortcomings in the way cancer survivors are handled after their treatment
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays
New research has shown up shortcomings in the way cancer survivors are handled once they've got through their treatment. An Otago University study published in BMC Health Services Research interviewed 47 healthcare providers involved in care after treatment. Lead author Dr Jerram Bateman says there's no central port-of-call for people. He says there's a lack of coordination in care - leading to a lack of continuity in the cancer care pathway from treatment to the survivor phase.
