Women’s and Children’s Hospital Adelaide since 2003

$2.486million to date

 

With our supporter’s help, we are able to pledge an amount each year to the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Adelaide to cover the salary for their Oncology Fellow.

“The support provided by Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia over the past ten years (now 14) has been most sincerely appreciated and I doubt that we could have maintained the quality of service to the children with cancer and their families without the financial support provided by the Kids with Cancer Foundation.

Having this position within our service has allowed us to continue to provide an excellent standard of care for the children experiencing cancer within this state and also the Northern Territory. It has also enabled us to train and mentor future oncology specialists which contributes greatly to succession planning and continued provision of excellent care”.

Women's & Children's Hospital Clinical Fellowship

Dr Sophie Jessop

Kids with Cancer, Fellow 2021

 

The 2nd Fellow we funded Dr Julius Scott, became the head oncologist in Chennai, the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. 

Children from as far away as Darwin in The Northern Territory attend the Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Adelaide.

This position is seen as vital to the care of children with cancer in South Australia, NT, NW Victoria and western NSW. Dr Jessop is taking a lead role in Safety and Quality initiatives such as the streamlining of Lumbar Puncture and Bone Marrow biopsy procedures in our clinic.

Since 2003 it’s been our great pleasure to have a partnership with the Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Adelaide SA and we hope with the help of our supporters to continue as the sponsor of the Clinical Oncology Fellowship, and the Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse.
