This Investigator Grant will transform the way follow-up care is delivered to thousands of cancer survivors who have completed treatment by using a shared-care approach between cancer specialists and GPs. This Grant will shift the paradigm of follow-up survivorship care from predominantly acute to primary care by maximising the involvement of GPs and reduce fragmentation of care. This approach is key to enhancing patient-centred care and system sustainability.
Towards Evidence-based Use Of IVF Add-ons In Australia

Summary
A large number of extra ‘add-on’ treatments are available which claim to increase the chance of success of IVF. However, there is no evidence that these add-ons are safe or effective, and they can cost patients up to $2000. I will undertake research to measure use of add-ons in Australia and the factors that drive supply and demand. I will use this information to develop resources based on robust evidence which will help guide patients and clinicians in making decisions about using IVF add-ons.
