Albury Base Hospital (ABH)
The shared care partnership between Albury Base Hospital and the Children’s
Cancer Centre has been established in an effort to keep patients and their
families closer to home and to coordinate patient care between the CCC and
ABH. Shared care means that the treatment of your child is “shared” by both
the regional centre and the CCC. We have a team of regional link nurses who
have attended various educational programs that are specific to caring for
paediatric oncology patients. We also have a team of paediatricians who are
in constant communication with the CCC.
These key staff members will liaise with the Nurse Coordinator and your
consultant oncologist about your child’s ongoing treatment.
Our staff has experience in the area of oncology and attends regular education
sessions with the CCC. As the care is shared between the CCC and ABH we
follow the same protocols and policies. We are also familiar with treatment
schedules and study protocols that your child maybe involved with.
Our aim is to make the transition from hospital to hospital as stress free as
possible, and to make your time with us a comfortable and positive experience.
