Monday Lunch Livestream with Alexandra Rivalland and Laura Brunt
Carers play an integral role in patient outcomes so how can we support them to ensure optimal care?
Hear Alexandra Rivalland and Laura Brunt discuss how focusing on the needs of carers of patients with a haematological malignancy can bring benefits on multiple levels.
As contemporary models of care place increasing emphasis on outpatient-led treatment, it's important to examine the needs of caregivers as an essential pillar in service provision.
Equipping and enabling carers to provide the care commonly led by tertiary hospitals in the inpatient setting, supports efficiency and sustainability for services, as well as improved outcomes for patients.
