Amy’s interests include psychological support and advocacy of patients and their families with lung cancer. She is also interested in increasing awareness for this disease in the general community which hopefully leads to more compassion, research, and support. Amy runs regular lung cancer group education meetings in the aim of bringing patients together to support and facilitate empowerment. In addition to TOGA she is also member of ANZ-LCNF, CNSA, IASLC, and ITONF.
She is currently involved in 2 studies at Lifehouse; a nursing research study that investigates supportive care needs of patients and their families with lung cancer; and another study that looks at long term “survivorship” needs of patients with stable, stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
