An outcome of a Think Tank was to develop a three-year action plan outlining the BCNA’s key future work, in partnership with national peak Aboriginal health organisations.
Delegates learned new skills for helping others and managing emotions that come along with supporting other people with cancer.
Because of activities at Summit, BCNA members will be able to implement key strategic projects and services that will better support a wide range of communities and demographics.
