About Us

Our medical committee

The Medical Advisory Committee is a group of breast cancer specialists from around Aotearoa who provide advice and guidance for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. All aspects of breast cancer treatment and diagnosed are represented in the group: radiology, pathology, surgery, radiation oncology and medical oncology.

The committee meets regularly throughout the year and helps to ensure our work is evidence-based. The Medical Advisory Committee helps us prioritise programmes and services and make decisions about research and investment. They provide input into advocacy and media work for the Foundation.

Committee members dedicate their time and expertise voluntarily. Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s ability to address gaps in our health system and provide the support patients need relies on the commitment of these hard-working individuals.
