We encourage attendance at the subcommittee meetings, welcoming regular attendees as well as new members, colleagues, and trainees.

To highlight the benefits of ANZUP membership, we actively participate in external meetings such as ANZUNS, the USANZ New Zealand Section Meeting, COSA, and the Asia Pacific Advanced Prostate Cancer Symposium.

For the year, the number of rural/regional sites participating in ANZUP trials totals 14 with 12 patients recruited. ANZUP often invites rural members and their patients to contribute content for the clinical newsletter UPdate and consumer magazine, ‘A little below the belt’. This publication is distributed to more than 400 cancer centres, and of these 28 are rural/regional sites.

The Consumer Advisory Panel (CAP) is engaged across all ANZUP research projects including the Scientific Advisory Committee, subcommittee meetings, Idea Generation Workshops and the Annual Scientific Meeting. We ensure the CAP membership represents a diverse mix across disease types, ensuring meaningful patient and caregiver perspectives in our decision-making processes.
