The CanEAT Pathway

Members of our dietetics team have been involved in piloting the use of interactive CanEAT pathway resources for people with cancer.

These resources and the pathway have been co-designed by people with cancer, carers and health professionals to ensure people with cancer get the best nutrition care, and to fill evidence-based gaps in cancer nutrition information. You can view the resources and The CanEAT pathway as a person with cancer (or carer), or as a health professional. To find out more visit https://www.petermac.org/CanEA...
