ACCEND Cancer Hub
NHS England’s elearning for healthcare and the ACCEND Workforce Education and training team have developed a new cancer workforce education and training hub to support the Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development programme (ACCEND).

The ACCEND cancer hub provide resources, information, and education and training to support skills and capability building as well as career pathways.
Phase 1 of the launch of the ACCEND cancer hub features 9 elearning modules called ‘Foundations of Cancer Care’ specifically aimed at the pre-registration workforce to provide core knowledge and understanding about the foundations of cancer care - what cancer is, how it develops, the impact on patients and families, communication, the role of research and how to look after themselves and their colleagues.
There is also a comprehensive toolkit designed for those working in the supportive and assistive workforce which is broken down into the CORE training and education.
