Abstract
The transition from clinical oncology to public policy as part of my role at Cancer Council Australia was challenging, but it used, as background, the patient-centred focus of clinical practice. Good policy affects millions at a time as compared to influencing one patient at a time in practice. I came to appreciate the importance of federal governments that were prepared to focus not only on short-term policy goals but also support initiatives where the benefits would not be realised until the longer term. In cancer control that often translates to funding prevention measures as well as treatment.
