  • Provide evidence based specialised bowel care education, information and support to patients and carers regarding their treatment, planned outcomes and care delivery program.
  • Develop and implement structured referral pathways to enable timely and appropriate referrals across the care continuum to allied health and supportive care service providers. Facilitate the involvement of the patient as a partner in the development of their care pathway.
  • Provide high level of clinical care, act as a clinical resource, advisor, mentor, role model and technical expert, in relation to bowel cancer, including facilitating education programmes.
  • Contribute to quality improvement activities aimed at improving outcomes for people affected by colorectal cancer.
Skills and ExperienceRequired

  • Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills; and
  • Evidence of participation in and commitment to quality improvement and best practice principles.
Desired
