Powerful session on caregiver burden. A reminder that supporting older adults with cancer means supporting their caregivers too. Very relevant to our work in COPS. @SIOGorg #siog2025

Really enjoying these wonderful speakers and topics at @SIOGorg 2025 - can’t wait to link in with the AHPs and teams we’ve met to implement and trial new ideas 💡 🤍 #siog2025 @YoungSIOG

Presenting our evaluation of COPS at SIOG 2025. Our findings show improved treatment adherence, earlier ID of functional decline, better support for complex needs & cost savings for cancer services. #SIOG2025

An important step in building an evidence base for OT in geri-oncology. #SIOG2025
