Cancer Equity Framework Launch
9 September 2024
While pockets exist of excellent work addressing inequities, the whole health system, and the cancer sector specifically, require the resources and capability to respond to the needs of patients facing multiple and intersecting disadvantages. Join us for the launch of the VCCC Alliance Cancer Equity Framework.
Working together to embed a culture of equity across the cancer sector
The Cancer Equity Framework has been conceptualised as a ‘call to action’ to bring VCCC Alliance leaders, educators, researchers and health practitioners together with consumers and community, to make health equity a shared vision and support collective efforts to drive the cultural changes and systemic reforms needed to ensure all patients have access to optimal care.
