Competencies
One of the assessment and care planning priorities is to review and develop training programmes for those who carry out holistic needs assessments and create care plans for cancer survivors. The training will help to ensure consistency and quality in approaches to assessment and care planning across the country.
The NCSI have agreed and are funding a level 3 (as per Supportive and Palliative Care Guidelines) ‘train the trainer’ programme for psychologists with the psychological department at Salisbury District Hospital. Further details are available from Kate Jenkins.
For level 2 training enquiries please contact James Brennan at Bristol University. Further details are available to download below.
There is also a module for assessment and care planning as part of the End of Life e-learning package available at E-Learning for Healthcare or End of Life Care for All.
Please notify Noeline Young of any further training courses for Assessment and Care Planning in your region.
