Talking Blood Cancer Podcast shares conversations that we have held with individuals who have faced blood cancer and their carers.  With over 7,843 downloads since December 2021, these conversations have provided insight, given information and support through relevant peer experiences.  Our conversations have provided great insight that then influence our themes and topics for our Education and Support Webinars and clinical content.  Our podcast reach has extended to our rural and regional communities and has been listened to internationally as well. This Podcast has received a finalist award with the Central Patient Award from Servier.  A brilliant way of providing connection and support, our aim is to continue to connect and communicate with our people living with blood cancer and their loved ones to share stories and sentiments of hope, meaning, and connection through shared peer lived experiences.
