About the event
As the population ages; existing Geriatric services both in primary and secondary care are already over stretched. Referrals to such services could have an impact in delaying cancer treatment in older cancer patients living with frailty or multi-morbidities. This webinar will explore the roles of the MDT such as nurses and allied health professionals in providing Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments for older adults with cancer.
We’re ‘buzzing’ to be sharing with you the latest education venture at Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. The Greater Manchester Cancer Academy – the hive of cancer education – will support the development of a sustainable lifelong learning model for cancer care across all care settings. We want to ensure that our workforce is equipped with the skills and tools necessary to delivery the best patient care whilst supporting the delivery of the NHS People Plan and the Long Term Plan ambitions for cancer services. The Academy will help to reduce inequity around accessing cancer education and provides a mechanism to standardise training, education and career frameworks for our current and future non-medical workforce.
