How the toolkit was developed
The toolkit was developed by members of the COSA cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia working group.
Resources were iteratively developed and refined over several workshops with working group members and clinicians. Once developed, the toolkit underwent usability and acceptability testing via an end-user review with multidisciplinary clinicians from across Australia. The toolkit was then further refined based on feedback from this review.

The toolkit was funded by an educational grant from Abbott Australasia.
