The SIOG Nursing, Allied Health and Scientists (NAHS) Interest Group was established by SIOG members working in geriatric oncology across nursing, allied health, and scientific disciplines. It brings together professionals to collaborate, share challenges, and identify priorities in the care of older adults with cancer.

The group contributes to SIOG’s activities by supporting the development of educational content, identifying topics for future conferences, and strengthening the visibility of these disciplines within geriatric oncology.

Aligned with SIOG’s strategy, the NAHS Interest Group promotes excellence across education, clinical practice, communication, advocacy, and research. It also supports nursing, allied health, and scientific contributions within SIOG’s broader scientific and educational initiatives.
