Consultant Oncologist

At Vitality Central West clients will be able to see an oncologist who specialises in cancer survivorship care. Working in partnership, they will develop an individualised Survivorship Care Plan that is tailored to the client’s specific needs. Survivorship care planning promotes client centred care and improves coordination between their specialist, GP, and other health care providers.
A good cancer survivorship care plan includes a treatment summary and lifestyle recommendations that support physical and mental health. It also has strategies to manage short- and long-term side effects of treatment. Cancer survivorship care plans assist in follow up health surveillance once acute cancer treatment has been completed.

Rehabilitation Specialist

Cancer treatment is physically and mentally demanding. Often people experience many short-term and long-term side effects that result in deconditioning of their body, making it harder to engage in and enjoy their normal activities such as work, recreation, and spending time with family and friends. A rehabilitation doctor will be available at Vitality Central West to make recommendations in areas such as pain management and improving client’s ability to function in their every day lives.

Rehabilitation Program

An accredited exercise physiologist, working as part of the Vitality Central West multi-disciplinary team, will help design and deliver effective individualised exercise programs for our clients to help maximise their overall function and wellbeing. Clinical research has established exercise as a safe and effective intervention to counteract many of the adverse physical and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment.

Clinical Trials & Research

At Vitality Central West opportunities to participate in research will play an important part of the service that we will offer our clients. Cancer research and clinical trials have led to the medical treatments and health programs that are now available today. We plan to undertake clinical trials that focus on improving outcomes and quality of life for people with cancer.
