Want to become a UF Patient Advocate?

  • May 15, 2018

Have you experienced a diagnosis of a Neuroendocrine Tumour (NET) – either as a patient, carer or family member?

Are you passionate about improving outcomes for people with NETs?

Are you keen to share your experiences and expertise to influence the development of resources and services provided to communities affected by NETs.

The Unicorn Foundation
invites you to consider nominating for a position on our Consumer Advisory
Group (CAG).

This volunteer group meets
bi-monthly via teleconference, with an annual face to face meeting. The CAG
functions as a consumer representative voice for people who have been diagnosed
with NETs, and their carers. By
working together, the CAG provides a mechanism for the consumer voice to be
addressed, with the overall goal of providing better services and outcomes for
people and communities affected by NETs.

We are seeking
expressions of interest for new members for this group, with a mixture of
patients and carers. We would like to have all states and territories
represented with people from both regional and metropolitan areas, including a
mix of gender, age and cultural backgrounds.

People who would like
to nominate will be asked to provide a written application, addressing key
selection criteria. There will be an interview process (via telephone) and all applicants
need to be willing to undergo a police check.

For more information,
please see the terms of reference and key selection documents below.
CAG Terms of Reference
CAG Key Selection Criteria

If you would
like to discuss your potential involvement in this group, or have further
questions, please email netnurse@neuroendocrine.org.au.

Deadline for expressions of interest is COB Monday 11th June 2018
