Knowledge 4 Nurses Specialist Clinical Skills Training: Best Practice in Nurse Led Chemotherapy

As Chemotherapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy is becoming more common place and yet more complex, Knowledge 4 Nurses are proud to introduce our Best Practice in Nurse Led Chemotherapy workshop.

With an estimate that by 2030, 1 in 2 people will have a diagnosis of cancer in their lifetime and as less people are dying from cancer, it is important to continually update both new and experience chemotherapy nurses with the right knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality of care, against this increased demand in service provision
