Regional Outreach and Shared Care Program (ROSCP) |
| The ROSCP is a program that facilitates the transition between the primary treating hospital and the regional centre that cares for children and adolescents with cancer. The program provides opportunities for shared care and ensures there are agreed levels of training and standards of care for medical, nursing, allied health and supportive services. This program is supported by the Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation who have provided a car for regional purposes as well as funding for the Regional Nurse Educator. If you would like to know more about the ROSCP please contact: Chris Williams, Regional Nurse Educator at chris.williams@rch.org.au |

Long Term Follow-up Program (LTFP) |
| The Long Term Follow-up Program (LTFP) facilitates the transition from completion of curative treatment to the 'survivorship' phase of the cancer journey. The aim of the program is to provide a clear and consistent standard of long term follow-up care across Victoria, which is responsive to the needs of all childhood cancer survivors and their families. The program is accessible to all paediatric, adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer living in Victoria. It provides each individual with a tailored approach to meet their ongoing needs and an appropriate transition plan to adult-based, community or hospital services. The Paediatric Integrated Cancer Service (PICS) LTF clinics are held at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), Monash Children's (MC) at Monash Health (MH), Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac), Alfred Health and at designated regional centres. If you would like to know more about the LTFP please contact the LTFP team at ltf.program@rch.org.au |
