All programmes offered are Multi-disciplinary work-based, web-based distance learning, using the Virtual Learning Environment, Blackboard. Highlighting the inter-relationship between oncology and clinical cancer service provision, they include mutually valuable information which will facilitate change in clinical practice.

The aim of each programme is to provide, for the first time, multi-professional pathways in the fields of oncology and palliative care and to develop practitioners who are prepared to offer clinical leadership, clinical excellence, and cultivate interdisciplinary collaboration in the delivery of evidence based oncology/palliative care.

The programmes are aimed at oncology professionals and palliative care practitioners including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and radiographers. They cover all aspects of delivering seamless care to patients and include treatment modalities, biological, psychosocial and ethical perspectives.
