At GenesisCare, we challenge ourselves every day to help find new and better ways to offer high-quality care, and we aim to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients wherever we can. Our Murdoch team may be able to offer you access to the GenesisCare global network of clinical trials. For further information on clinical trial participation, please speak with your treating doctor.
Allied health services
Our location in the Murdoch Medical Precinct allows us to collaborate closely with a range of cancer support services and provide holistic support to patients throughout their treatment journey.
We offer a number of support services on site including:
- Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurse
- Exercise Physiologist
- Dietitian
We also partner with a range of services that are available through referral.
Exercise Therapy
A substantial body of research and clinical evidence indicates that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be taken into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3 To learn more about incorporating exercise during your cancer journey, please speak with your doctor and treatment team.
