An Evaluation of Mental Health First Aid Officer Utilisation Across an International, Interdisciplinary Oncology Group

Utilisation of MHFA across Icon's international, interdisciplinary oncology service in Australia and New Zealand has been demonstrated. While most respondents reported manageable MHFA workloads, it was identified that challenges exist in programme awareness, role clarity, and resource allocation. Addressing these concerns through improved guidelines, ongoing training, and increased visibility of MHFAOs could enhance the programme's effectiveness and long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Utilisation of MHFA across Icon's international, interdisciplinary oncology service in Australia and New Zealand has been demonstrated. While most respondents reported manageable MHFA workloads, it was identified that challenges exist in programme awareness, role clarity, and resource allocation. Addressing these concerns through improved guidelines, ongoing training, and increased visibility of MHFAOs could enhance the programme's effectiveness and long-term sustainability.
