Shared care is a model of care that provides an exciting opportunity for innovation in the provision of follow-up care after treatment for early breast cancer.Shared care is the joint participation of primary care physicians and speciality physicians in the planned delivery of care.
The National shared care demonstration project is a new and exciting project being undertaken by National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC) to trial and evaluate approaches to the delivery of shared care between primary and specialist clinicians for the follow-up of women after completion of hospital based therapy for early breast cancer.
As part of the project, NBOCC will implement shared care in Demonstration Sites that are representative of the Australian healthcare environment including rural/urban and public/private practice settings. NBOCC will also develop resources to support clinicians to provide shared care and consumers to participate in shared care. These will include a patient held shared care plan.
NBOCC is seeking Expressions of Interest from healthcare organisations or services with the experience and capacity to implement a locally appropriate approach, for the delivery of shared care for follow-up, commencing in March 2010.
