Overview
This intensive 2-day course is designed for qualified reflexologists looking to enhance their skills in cancer and supportive care settings. With a strong emphasis on practical application, you’ll learn to adapt reflexology techniques to safely and effectively support patients when traditional methods may not be suitable or are contraindicated. While key theoretical concepts will be covered, the focus is on building confidence and competence through hands-on learning.
Our tutors bring over 25 years of combined experience working directly with patients at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and other cancer and supportive care settings. They also have extensive expertise across various therapeutic disciplines within the healthcare, charity and private sectors, ensuring you benefit from their comprehensive knowledge and practical insights.
