NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia NET Specialist Registry is a resource that acknowledges those medical practitioners who are experienced in the management of neuroendocrine cancers and who fulfill certain criteria that NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia has applied.
Being affected by NETs can be an extremely challenging experience, both for patients, and those supporting them.
Many patients with NETs also experience a loss of faith and trust in a medical system that they feel may have misdiagnosed and unwittingly mismanaged their disease – a result of neuroendocrine cancers being relatively uncommon.
It is critical for NET patients to develop and maintain supportive working relationships with NET specialists who have expert knowledge and understanding of their complex cancer. This relationship is central to improving quality of NET patient care and clinical outcomes.
NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia NET Specialist Registry is a resource that acknowledges those medical practitioners who are experienced in the management of neuroendocrine cancers and who fulfill certain criteria that NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia has applied.
These criteria are:
- A qualified medical practitioner (without any restrictions) and legitimate interest in NETs
- Has a reasonable volume of practice of NET patients
- Has been involved in recent and ongoing education/CME which includes exposure to NET related topics
- Has direct involvement with a state-wide NET multi-disciplinary team/tumour board
