Identifying and managing cancer complications and late effects in the community - what do you need to know & how do you develop the skills?
Thursday 23rd January 2025
12:00- 13.30
About:
Are you interested in improving experience and quality of survivorship care? What skills and knowledge do community/primary care professionals need and how can we develop these? What are the barriers you/your colleagues face implementing any training? What does our workforce need to look like to better support survivorship?
Drawing on their research and coproduction projects into the experiences of staff and service users after laryngectomy, Laura-Jayne and Rhiannon will lead a collaborative event to look at how themes from this specialist field are mirrored across cancer pathways. We will work together to identify where the gaps are, what works well and what solutions might look like. The results of our discussions will be shared with all attendees after the event.
