Welcome

The Australia and New Zealand Lung Cancer Nurses Forum website (ANZ-LCNF) is designed for the passionate nurses who make up the ANZ-LCNF.

Their common focus is improving patient care, health care delivery and outcomes for lung cancer patients, their families and carers. This network provides an opportunity for debate, education and knowledge transfer throughout the continuum of treatment. 

Established by The Australian Lung Foundation and endorsed by the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA), this special interest group will also encourage nurses who have extensive experience to mentor those nurses who are new to the area. 

The ANZ- LCNF has a steering committee of nurse representatives from around Australia and New Zealand.  In 2011,  the steering committee's focus is on: 

• A membership drive
• The delivery of a Lung Cancer Education Workshop within the CNSA Winter Congress 2011
• Awarding 4 Nurse Travel Support Grants to attend CNSA Winter Congress 2011
• Sending ANZ-LCNF representative as delegates to the World Lung Conference in Amsterdam 2011
• The Launch of a nurses' forum within this website
