Dr. Tara Horrill is an Assistant Professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Manitoba. Her research takes a critical approach to investigating health inequities within the context of the cancer care system, with a particular focus on equitable access to cancer care and equity-oriented approaches to care. Indigenous Peoples experience startling differences in cancer outcomes that appear to be partly related to inequitable access to oncology care. This presentation will highlight some specific challenges to accessing oncology care, and discuss the role of nurses in addressing inequitable access.
