PROGRAM (CSIP)

PRIORITY PROJECT APPLICATION FORProject Title: Development of GICS Website

Web site initiative • The Grampians Integrated Cancer Services (GICS) is

the organization centered on the Grampians charged under the state wide cancer plan with improving the interaction of cancer services in the Grampians region.

• The major focus is to coordinate the services of existing cancer service providers as well as the identification of gaps in cancer services.

• The GICS has over its initial two years of operation developed a clear understanding of service provision and needs to circulate this widely throughout the cancer services providers in the region.

Website initiative

• A website would be the best resource for achieving this as well as receiving regular feedback from providers.

• Additional functions for the website would include a virtual multi-disciplinary clinic which would not be part of this proposal but the website developed would have to have the functionality and capacity for such applications.
