Icon Cancer Centre Wahroonga leads the way in cancer care

In the 2021 Bureau of Health Information (BHI) Outpatient Cancer Clinics Survey, the San Integrated Cancer Centre was the only cancer clinic in New South Wales to achieve eight measures significantly higher than the NSW result.

Patients were asked to evaluate their experience of access to services, care planning and coordination, complications, follow-up and support.

The report also compares patients’ experiences in rural and urban facilities, examines patients’ experiences of virtual care, and provides insights into differences in experiences between patients who speak a language other than English at home and those who speak English, on selected measures.

Icon Cancer Centre Wahroonga Clinical Director of Radiation Oncology Dr Andrew Fong says the outstanding results are a testament to the strength of the multidisciplinary service provided for the local Sydney North Shore community.

“We are very proud to partner with the Sydney Adventist Hospital to deliver the full remit of exceptional cancer care, closer to home. To be recognised for the fifth year in a row as the leading outpatient cancer clinic in NSW reflects our shared commitment to offering the best possible care and supporting our patients from diagnosis through to treatment and beyond,” Dr Fong said.
