Course tutors: Vicky Phelan
If you are a therapist/health care professional working or wanting to work in a cancer care setting, this course will be invaluable to help you gain the understanding & knowledge you need.
The learnings gained during this course will help you to feel more confident amongst other work colleagues and around patients/carers, especially when they feel the need to share with you their diagnosis, treatment and how they feel.
During the course, we will cover:
- possible causes of cancer and the methods used to identify health outcomes,
- the biology of cancer,
- principles of mainstream cancer treatments and side effects,
- how advances in scientific and medical research have the potential to personalise patient treatments, and
- the psycho-social and emotional impact of diagnosis for both patients and families.
Students will be required to complete directed tasks and reflective feedback.
Suitable for: Complementary therapists and health care professionals working with end-of-life patients.
