Health Care Utilisation and Unmet Needs in Survivors of Head and Neck Cancer in Regional Australia: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

This may reflect the limited availability or accessibility of services for this population, which could be addressed with shared models of care utilising both GP-led and telehealth services.
