The VCCC Alliance has a strong and demonstrable commitment to enabling consumer involvement across all levels of the organisation. The consumer perspective is incorporated into decisions that shape the VCCC Alliance and inform our strategic approach to advancing cancer research, education, and clinical care.
The programs and activities of our Strategic Program Plan aim to improve outcomes for patients with cancer, which is underpinned by an embedded consumer engagement strategy that keeps patient-centred care as a core value. Critical to ensuring this goal is tackling areas of work that best align with patients' needs and priorities.
Two consumer-led research pilot projects are currently underway: Personalised Cancer Care and Value-Based Cancer Care.
To carry out the consumer-led research projects, a framework was developed to increase the knowledge, skills, and confidence of consumers, and generate resources for future implementation. Evaluation is now a key aspect to determine the effectiveness of framework implementation and efficacy of the patient-centered design.
We are seeking an Evaluation Researcher to evaluate the two consumer-led research projects. In this 6-month role, they will further refine the proposal, finalise the research question, complete the literature review, submit HREC applications, and prepare the final manuscript.
