Today, we've got a really interesting paper to discuss and I'm thrilled to be joined by Louise Moody and Dr. Mary Kennedy.
Before we get onto the discussion, I would just like to acknowledge the traditional owners of country and the VCCC Alliance acknowledges the traditional owners of country and their continuing and deep connections to land, sky, waters and community.
We pay our respects to elders past and present, and are committed to honouring the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and promoting reconciliation.
The VCCC would also like to acknowledge the individual and collective expertise of people with experience of ill health and recovery.
We honour the courage of those who share the unique experience of a lived experience, and we appreciate their contribution as equal and active partners in health system transformation.
So as I mentioned, I'm very excited today to be joined by Louise Moody and Mary Kennedy and I'll hand over to Louise and Mary to just give themselves a quick introduction of themselves and then we'll get into the discussion of the paper.
I focus on cancer survivorship and implementation science and also a member of COSA.
So the paper we're going to talk about today is a paper that Mary, you were senior author on.
It was published in Health Policy in 2026 and Exploring Barriers to Nutritional Support for Oncology Patients in Regional and Rural Settings, a Scoping Review through the Lens of Levesque's Accessibility framework.
And at the top, full disclosure, I'm neither an implementation clinician or a dietician, but that's why I've got Louise and Mary to help guide me through this today.
