About us
The University of Canberra’s Prehab, Activity, Cancer, Exercise, Survivorship (PACES) Research Group focusses their research activity on three distinct areas of cancer care research:
prehabilitation and/or rehabilitation
physical activity
cancer survivorship across the cancer care continuum
PACES aims to deliver evidence informed personalised, holistic, timely, accessibly cancer care for every individual and their family, by providing pre and/or rehabilitative survivorship care.
Our research focusses on finding solutions to important clinical problems experienced every day in cancer care. Our programme of research is oriented around improvement and is designed to impact regular practice. PACES researchers are clinical academic healthcare professionals; therefore, the work that they do is directly informed by unmet supportive care needs issues that are regarded as problematic or concerning to people affected by cancer. This includes individuals with cancer, families/carers, healthcare professionals, healthcare managers, and policymakers. The thorough multidisciplinary approach taken by PACES ensures that a variety of population groups and supportive care needs are taken into consideration.
Our researchers aim to:
undertake world-leading innovative research in cancer care to make a meaningful difference to those affected by cancer.
provide a collaborative focus from a variety of academic disciplines related to cancer care.
increase the institutional capacity for strategic cancer partnerships and collaborations for cancer research and consultancy activities.
