I was appointed as The Cancer Support Workforce Lead, funded via Health Education England in 2021 and as a member of the Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development programme (ACCEnD) we aim to produce ‘A whole cycle approach to creating a cancer professional’.

The Cancer Support Workforce Programme pulls together key partners across all 4 UK nations with the aim to develop a Nationally agreed career and education pathway, with a variety of education and training, to support all Cancer Support Workers’.  This will be matched to ACCEnD capability framework creating the 1st step on the ‘end to end’ provision for our cancer workforce.
