Cancer Support

One in two peo­ple will be diag­nosed with can­cer in their life­time. For many indi­vid­u­als, diag­no­sis can be a daunt­ing and over­whelm­ing time. Being able to access the right lev­els of care and ser­vices pro­vides valu­able sup­port when peo­ple need it most. As can­cer treat­ments are improved and more peo­ple sur­vive can­cer, an aware­ness of the impact of liv­ing with can­cer long-term and knowl­edge of how to sup­port indi­vid­u­als is vital for any­one car­ing for some­one with can­cer. This short course is great CPD for those work­ing in health and social care, but is also suit­able for those who care for some­one liv­ing with cancer.

This qual­i­fi­ca­tion is designed for learn­ers who want to increase their knowl­edge and under­stand­ing of sup­port­ing adults liv­ing with can­cer. It could be used as a con­tin­u­ous pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment (CPD) qual­i­fi­ca­tion for learn­ers already work­ing with­in the health care and social care sec­tors or for indi­vid­u­als pro­vid­ing infor­mal care.
