Thrilled to have #RemovetheMask featured in an article being syndicated all over Aus this week! James Joyce writes incredibly about his experience wearing the mask. Great interviews from @sundap15 + @paul_keall, too. @JulieMcCrossin canberratimes.com.au/story/7917988/…

@sundap15 @JulieMcCrossin @paul_keall @imagexinstitute @POCOG1 @chindhushun @CPMCCWestmead @RENWestmead This is one of the coolest projects with potential to really transform care I've ever been involved with. What makes it absolutely the best is the incredible multi- and inter-disciplinary team involved in making it happen. #HNCSM #RadOnc #PsyOnc #SuppOnc
#RemovetheMask really is made up of a multi-disciplinary dream-team, if we say so ourselves 🥰 It's thrilling to have such a wide-ranging team of experts all passionate about improving care for people with Head & Neck Cancer. #WHNCD22
