Key groups such as the Colleges have also been consulted. To assist in developing a national network and to ensure that consumers and professionals throughout Australia have access to the NBCC, a NBCC Project Officer has been or will be appointed in each state and territory cancer organisation. If you would like to know more about the local activities or resources available from the NBCC, contact the Project Officer at your local cancer organisation. The NBCC has established a Home Page on the Internet to provide a ready source of information about breast cancer in Australia. To the computer-illiterate, this is a menu of information on a computer screen which you can browse through like an encyclopaedia.
Copies are available for distribution.
The NBCC Genetic Testing Working Group has also been working to simplify this information into assessment and management guidelines. Information about patients' satisfaction with current care is important in improving care. Dr Afaf Girgis and Ms Glenda Foot of the NSW Cancer Council's Cancer Education Research Program have completed a review of the research literature about satisfaction with care among breast cancer patients.
