Patient management frameworks

GPs are an important part of the cancer journey for a patient and their family. The patient management frameworks are guides for health professionals for this important care pathway to ensure patients and families are supported. The Victorian Government encouraged the development of the frameworks in collaboration with practitioners, consumers and carers. They're based on current best practice and are a statement of consensus as to currently accepted treatments. A full list of Patient Management Frameworks is available from the Victorian Government website

Clinical guidelines

Clinical practice guidelines are ‘systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific circumstances' (Filed and Lohr, 1992). With the National Health and Medical Research Council, Cancer Council Australia's Clinical Guidelines Network has developed clinical guidelines for managing cancer treatment. To download or order these guidelines for your practice visit Cancer Council Australia's website. A full list of clinical guidelines is available on the National Health and Medical Research Council website.
