In this module we explore the fundamentals of childhood and teenage cancers including the science behind them. Covering the patients’ journey from pre-diagnosis, throughout different treatment modalities and beyond. We discuss the tools to help a family navigate through their treatment and how the multi-disciplinary team helps to facilitate this with a holistic patient centred approach.

 

The management of treatment and its side effects are analysed and application to practice will be debated. The content covers patients from 0-17 years old and students will be from all areas of clinical practice across the UK working with children and teenagers with a cancer diagnosis. The majority of the content is delivered online live, to enable access to paediatric and TYA oncology education to students who are further afield, with an optional onsite day.
