On Monday, 9 June, I was invted by the Danish Cancer Society to present the "BCI model of care" to a group, which included health department and medical representatives.
They were particularly concerned as their breast cancer mortality was higher in Denmark than Australia and other western countries. A particular problem in Denmark is the lack of acceptance of a national screening program and patchy uptake of multidisciplinary breast cancer care.

This followed a successful visit to Westmead Hospital whilst I was away in April this year.
Their visit to Westmead was in fact written up in the Australian newspaper and was a great credit to the delivery of cancer services in NSW and Westmead. Following discussions with Paul Harnett, one aspect I proposed was a regular cancer fellowship between Westmead and Denmark.
