Your work area can be oncology, general wards, community, city or rural, ethnic or indigenous etc. Clearly state the circumstances of your work place, eg, Broken Hill Hospital, medical ward. Make the information in your resource relevant to your work place. From your extensive research into your chosen cancer, decide what information for new staff needs to be in the resource. Convey this information in a user-friendly format. The information needs to be appropriate for nursing staff. If you want you can use illustrations – just don’t overdo it.
