HWA Program Manager to provide the HWA perspective at COSA ASM 2011

The COSA Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier gathering of cancer health professionals in our region. Being the peak multidisciplinary cancer conference in Australia, COSA welcomes clinicians and researchers working in cancer from medical and radiation oncology, surgery, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health.

The theme for the 2011 ASM is “Partnerships against cancer - bridging gaps, breaking barriers” and will highlight the opportunities and challenges facing cancer health care today and in the future. This year’s scientific program will focus on urological, prostate and colorectal cancers, as well as the role of primary care in cancer.

HWA Program Manager, Ms Cathy Teager, will provide the HWA perspective during the plenary session on Wednesday 16th November.  The session title is "Strategies to address the looming oncology workforce shortage".
