Every bowel cancer patient deserves
to have access to a dedicated
Bowel Care Nurse Despite being the third most diagnosed cancer, bowel cancer patients don’t receive the same level of support as other common cancers.
Bowel Cancer Australia’s telenursing, telenutrition, and integrated Bowel Care Nurse programs are addressing this gap, enabling equity of access to personalised care and tailored support nationwide.
Thanks to the fundraising efforts and donations received through Dry July last year, a grant from the Dry July Foundation meant we were able to increase the capacity of our Patient Services team, to meet the growing demand for these vital services.
Bowel Cancer Australia’s 2022 Dry July team will be raising funds to expand the charity's integrated Bowel Care Nurse pilot program.
Supporting the employment of dedicated Bowel Care Nurses in regional communities across the country. Acting as a key point of contact for bowel cancer patients and their families as they navigate the health system in their local area – providing advice, education, support and direct patient care. |
