Are you interested in developing your career in cancer and palliative care? Marie Curie Cancer Care has launched the Learning Zone - a gateway to online courses, and an information point where staff can find out more about accessing programmes of learning. All you need is regular access to the Internet.
Information/courses included within the Learning Zone are:
- Online learning - what it all about?
- Marie Curie Cancer Care's Management Essentials programme
- the Health Care Assistant competency based programme
- IT training, including the learning bank
- who to contact when you want information about study days and short courses
- a selection of library/information resources
- information on Marie Curie Cancer Care's own virtual classroom 'Moodle' which is currently being used to support our Health Care Assistant Development and Management Essentials programmes
- Access to online learning resources, for example:
- CancerNursing.org - provides free, professional online cancer care courses that aim to enhance the knowledge and skills of health professionals and anyone concerned with the care of cancer patients
- Help the Hospices e-learning services - aims to resource existing professionals, carers and teams with the knowledge and skills needed in their daily work
- palliative drugs.com - provides essential, comprehensive and independent information for health professionals about the use of drugs in palliative care
- and if you want to hear what patients have to say about the illness experience, you may find dipex.com of interest.
If you have any suggestions on how we can develop the Learning Zone further please contact us via the Learning Zone website.
We hope the Learning Zone proves to be a valuable resource to your team as we try to continuously improve the services we provide for patients and carers.
