patient Education and cognition
|
The patient education and cognition team aims to improve the educational and social trajectories of young people affected by cancer through research and translation of knowledge into supportive resources. Our current studies include Ready Steady School, Missing School and Hospital School studies.

Ready Steady School is developing a school re-entry program for survivors of childhood cancer, their families and teachers, to ensure their successful transition into school after treatment. The Missing School study is working with Missing School to evaluate their telepresence robot program, helping keep seriously sick kids connected to their school. The Hospital School study is working with Sydney Children's Hospital School to evaluate their health and education support plans.
Our past studies include EduSwell, EdMed and Reconnect. The EduSwell study explores the school factors that promote student wellbeing, and its sister study EdMed equips teachers with the skills needed to support children with chronic illness in the classroom. The Reconnect study explores the social functioning of childhood cancer survivors.
