Lung Foundation Australia’s Specialist Lung Cancer Nurse Model of Care is a nationally relevant framework designed to promote consistent, high-quality specialist nursing care for individuals at risk of or affected by lung cancer. This model supports lung cancer nurses across Australia by guiding advanced practice nursing throughout the entire continuum of care, from pre-diagnosis and diagnosis, through active treatment, and into survivorship and end-of-life care.
Wherever possible, a Lung Foundation Australia Specialist Lung Cancer Nurse is positioned in Respiratory Medicine, with a role focus, pre-diagnosis, at diagnosis and post-survivorship, where unmet patient need is high.
Lung Foundation Australia Specialist Lung Cancer Nurses help improve outcomes and experiences for people living with lung cancer through coordinated, evidence-based, and person-centred care.
