Congratulations to A/Prof Bryan Chan who has this year been awarded a Conjoint Clinical Research Lead position with Griffith University and Sunshine Coast Health to continue his lung cancer research. He has a busy time ahead, with also taking on he role of President Elect with the Clinical Oncological Society of Australia this year.
Sadly for us this means he will no longer be accepting new patient referrals and will be reducing his clinical work.
We wish him all the best with his exciting endeavours and know he will be back! 😊

A big congratulations to Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital medical oncologist Dr Michelle Morris, who recently received the Ramsay Research and Development Network (RRDN) Research Impact Award!

Dr Morris is leading a world-first clinical trial for advanced solid tumours, investigating a treatment that harnesses a patient’s immune system to fight cancer while delivering chemotherapy directly to the tumour.

The Ramsay Health Care Research Awards recognise clinicians, researchers and hospital teams advancing research and helping translate new ideas into better care for patients and communities.

Did you know that we have a range of clinical trials available for patients to access new and innovative cancer therapies?

This year we were proud to have the results of two of our trials presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago in June, the largest global cancer meeting.

With our partnership with Ramsay Health, we currently have the largest portfolio of cancer clinical trials on the Sunshine Coast. Patients participitating in a clinical trial have no out of pocket expenses, including public patients.

If you think you may be a suitable candidate for a clinical trial, discuss a referral with your general practitioner or oncologist.
