PaCCSC & CST

The Palliative Care Clinical Studies Collaborative (PaCCSC) and Cancer Symptom Trials (CST) are two research collaboratives based at the Centre for Improving Palliative, Aged and Chronic Care through Clinical Research and Translation (IMPACCT) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). We facilitate high-quality inclusive clinical research through collaboration and capacity building that informs the evidence base for the provision of best practice in palliative care and cancer symptom management.

IMPACCT Consumer Advisory Group

Our vision is to see every patient receiving the best care regardless of life circumstances, state of health or place of residence. We will only realise our vision with the invaluable contribution of a diverse and engaged Consumer Advisory Group (CAG) with lived experiences as patients or caregivers.

The CAG has been established to ensure that consumers are actively involved in shaping our research, supporting curricula development and providing general guidance on our strategic direction. They are actively involved in discussion and reviews of clinical trials implemented by the Palliative Care clinical Studies Collaborative (PaCCSC) and Cancer Symptom Trials (CST), including representation on the CST Scientific Advisory Committee.
