Dr Kristi Milley spoke to Andi Agbejule a PhD student in the Cancer Survivorship research group at the University of Queensland.Andi has recently published a systematic review titled ‘Outcomes of cancer survivorship education and training for primary care providers’ in the Journal of Cancer Survivorship. The paper identified published literature regarding cancer survivorship education programs for primary care providers and assessed their outcomes. As a result of the review seven key recommendations were proposed for developing and evaluating survivorship education programs which you can hear about in the episode. One of Andi’s key points was that future educational programs need to be more tailored to primary care practice.
