PST DMG works closely with the paediatric haematolymphoid DMG, and the paediatric component of Bone and Soft Tissue DMG and Neuro Oncology DMG.
The paediatric oncology division (including PST DMG) prides itself on the holistic support strategy for over a decade. The division has a dedicated team of infection control nurses, paediatric nutritionists, clinical psychologist, medical social workers and volunteers. Both paediatric OPDs (paediatric haemato-lymphoid and paediatric solid tumour OPD) function in adjoining areas. All patients receive support in terms of emergency funds, accommodation, nutrition, infection counselling and other support within the first week.
Patients from the PST DMG are also managed at the paediatric oncology OPD and 12-bedded ward at ACTREC
Patients are managed as per National Cancer Grid Guidelines for Paediatric Cancers
