WORKSHOPS

We run residential courses for doctors, nurses and others away from the hospital environment. The venues are normally hotels and the workshops are run over two days. Our current series of workshops are about explaining the results of genomic testing (TARGET) and communicating genetic testing and results to patients and family members (TRUSTING). Normally these residential workshops last 8 hrs split over 2 half days and attract 9 CPD points.

Coming soon:-

In March we will be running 2 communication skills workshops for healthcare professionals involved with the REDUCe2 trial.

We will be running more of our TARGET workshops in the Spring.

Our popular TRUSTING workshops will also be back in 2025. We are currently working on updating the content of the course and booking is now open.

Topics covered in workshops include:

• General communication skills training
• Discussing early phase and randomised cancer trials
• Multidisciplinary team communication
• Teams talking trials
• Communication about expensive new cancer drugs
• Talking with patients about metastatic bone disease
