State of the Nation - update
A short update on the State of the Nation Things have been busy with the State of the Nation. We have now met with over 2,000 members and their support team to talk about their unmnet needs. We have also been celebrating great programs and services making sure we can learn from the communities, hospitals and services that are ensuring the best possible experience for all those affected by breast cancer. Last week we were in Adelaide and next week we head to Mildura and Broken Hill. So what are our discussions/ town hall meetings or consultations all about? We have taken some of the initial feedback from the Member Survey - yes you can still complete the survey if you have not already - head to the Member Survey online. At the consultations we break into small groups and discuss some of the challenges and issues in services during active treatment Then we discuss some of the gaps in service when treatment stops We are certainly finding some consistent national issues but also we have been able to determine some local issues. Including differences in costs for scans, wellness programs, access to psychosocial support and rehab programs. If you would like to contribute keep an eye out for local invitations to our meetings either through forums or through our State of the Nation meetings. Or you can share your experience by emailing us at policy@bcna.org.auState of the Nation - Question Parking
Thank you all for your ongoing responses to questions I have already posed - it is never to late to continue adding to your experiences. Now I am keen to hear about parking. When you were going through treatment did you have to pay for your parking? Did you receive discounts, did you receive free parking vouchers. I have a feeling this may be a hot topic - so look forward to our discussions KP
