Accessing new treatments closer to home
Watch patients taking part in cancer Teletrials who now have access to new treatments closer to their homes in regional Australia. Some tests and appointments are done locally and telehealth (via the computer) is used for appointments with the clinical trial doctor. This approach has many benefits for patients.
Tele-oncology models of care
Tele-oncology models of care have been demonstrated to improve the delivery of specialist health care to rural and regional patients, including the administration of sometimes complex chemotherapy. Teletrials are an innovative patient centred model of care that build on existing tele-oncology models.
