Education - HCPs
Neuroendocrine Cancer UK were delighted to be part of the ‘NETs for Newcomers’ course in Oxford last month. This course is run by the UK & Ireland Neuroendocrine Tumour Society and is aimed at healthcare professionals (HCPs) who want to learn more about NETs and become involved in its management. We opened the day to set up the patient perspective and set the context of some of the challenges that exist in this field. It was wonderful to have this opportunity to be involved and promote our many awareness and educational materials to HCPs. NETs for Newcomers
An overview of neuroendocrine cancer for healthcare professionals’ series
To enable us to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer for healthcare professionals we are creating a series of overviews for different HCP disciplines. The aim of these is to act as a bite-size, practical educational aid to support HCPs to suspect and know how to support potential neuroendocrine cancer patients. To date we have created a general one for all HCPs, one for GPs and one for gastroenterologists. We have just completed an overview for general surgeons and are close to finishing an overview for endocrinologists and oncologists.
