Why successful people often feel like frauds (EVENT FULL - WAITLIST APPLIES)
This session will explain why high performing people often doubt their abilities and find it hard to enjoy their successes. Join to find the links with perfectionism and self-handicapping practices, and leave with tools to overcome these habits.
Join Dr Vijaya Joshi, Health Equity Manager, VCCC Alliance for an informative workshop hosted by the VCCC Alliance Nurse-led Research Hub that draws on research expertise across a variety of settings to examine and explore critical considerations when conducting research with people from diverse populations.
A program of online research-based workshops is currently being offered for nurses who work in the cancer domain. Increase your skills and build your confidence to undertake nurse-led research. The final workshop in the series, Implementation Science for Nurses is filling fast - register your place.
Advances in the cancer genome analysis of challenging cancer cases
Over the last decade, genomics has revolutionised our ability to discern the root-cause of malignant cancer and identify its potential therapeutic vulnerabilities, resulting in groundbreaking treatments to fight cancer. Join Professor Sean Grimmond, Director of the University of Melbourne Centre for Cancer Research, for this special presentation that will review how the latest international cancer efforts have provided new foundations for improved cancer-diagnostic tools.
The influence of hormones on the epithelial and stromal compartments of the normal breast
All are welcome to a meeting showcasing the latest developments in breast cancer-related research locally, nationally and globally.
Join Associate Professor Kara Britt, Head of Breast Cancer Risk and Prevention Lab at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, for a presentation on the link between breast cancer and hormone exposure.
Translating genetic discoveries into primary care practice
Join us to hear from Professor Jon Emery who will deliver the 2021 David Danks Oration.
The Human Genome Project was completed 18 years ago with considerable expectation of benefits to human health and a revolution in healthcare. The research translational pipeline is long but we are now beginning to see how advances in genetic epidemiology and sequencing technology will transform the way GPs practice medicine in the 21st century.
Conquering Cervical Cancer – the role of the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation
To acknowledge Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, the VCCC Alliance invites you to join Liz Haim, Health Promotion Manager from the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation (ACCF), and Christine Walters, cervical cancer survivor, for a special presentation on the impact of a cervical cancer diagnosis.
Constructing your Systematic Review
Join the Master of Clinical Research team from Melbourne Medical School, for a practical and interactive workshop that introduces the steps involved in developing a systematic review.
Facilitated by internationally recognised speaker, Hugh Kearns, this virtual workshop aims to teach participants an array of communication methods to influence others.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers worldwide. Across the VCCC Alliance there is a broad spectrum of innovative research underway, from preclinical studies through to the management of advanced stage disease. This session, for the first time, will give each site the opportunity to showcase their efforts, highlighting cutting edge research in cancer biology, molecular characterisation, the latest in prognostic and predictive markers, through to supportive care.
Clinical pathways for management of infections in cancer
Join for an informative presentation of the design and implementation of clinical pathways for the management of sepsis and neutropenic fever in both adult and paediatric cancer patients, including implementation strategies and the important roles that nurses play in patient care.
Reprogramming the tumour microenvironment of pancreatic cancer
Hear about the exciting new study that supports Hematopoietic Cell Kinase (HCK) as a new therapeutic to boost treatment response in pancreatic cancer. This groundbreaking research has the potential to create new treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients, lead to better survival rates, and improved quality of life.
The Zero Childhood Cancer Program - From Promise to Precision
Join the program leader of the Zero Childhood Cancer (ZERO) initiative for an overview of Australia’s most comprehensive national child cancer precision medicine program, providing hope to families nationally.
