Short Course Program

Cancer care is constantly changing. In this context, healthcare professionals require relevant and evidence-based education to inform your care and to develop skills in your speciality

The Nursing Education Short Course Program uses a face‑to‑face “Speak with an Expert” model to build confidence, knowledge and practical skills in caring for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Led by experienced nurses, clinicians and allied health professionals, the program combines evidence‑based learning with real‑world case studies, giving participants practical insights for clinical practice.

Take the next step in your professional development with expert‑led cancer care education – see Nursing education short course timetable and enrolment information below.
