Summary
It is recognised that the impairing effects of psychotropic medications can have harmful effects on traffic safety, particularly in the case of sleep medications such as benzodiazepines, however the effectiveness of these labels is largely unknown. The PhD will evaluate two approaches to medication warnings used in Australia and France. Results will inform patient care and prescribing advice and labelling, and could support the adoption of the model European labelling.

Summary
With improved screening and treatment, the number of cancer survivors in our ageing population continues to grow. However, a very high number have poor quality of life and reduced functional capacity. Exercise addresses these problems, yet very few cancer survivors exercise regularly. This study will combine high intensity intermittent exercise with peer support for cancer survivors to maintain regular exercise and their health in a community setting.
