Three staff from the Aberdeen Hospital’s oncology department were able to take advantage of a return to in-person learning, attending the Atlantic Canada ...
The Aberdeen Health Foundation was able to support three nurses attending this year’s Atlantic Canada Oncology Group Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Their attendance was made possible with funding from the Edith Were Fraser Memorial Endowment and the Dr. Johnnie Miles Williston Education Fund. This two-day event educated oncology health care providers from all over Atlantic Canada on the latest in cancer research and treatments.
“My biggest takeaway from attending the conference was being educated on the newest treatments available in Canada, now used locally in Atlantic Canada. Specifically, the CAR-T cell treatments. Previously, CAR-T cell patients in Nova Scotia would have to travel to Boston to receive this life-saving treatment, at great cost to the Nova Scotia government and the patients themselves.
"This kind of in-person interaction and symposium allows health care providers at all levels to learn from each other and work more cohesively as a team. Ultimately, we all have the same goal – to improve supports that benefit our patients,” she said.
