Summary
The aim of this action is to extend the implementation coverage of the first cohort of the inter-speciality cancer training programme through enrolling new cancer centres, as well asadditional trainees and trainers.
Detailed Call Description
The action will roll-out the second cohort of trainees and, in addition, will organise a dissemination event to present the outcomes of the training. The action is expected to be complemented by the organisation of events to share the experiences developed during the training, which will also strengthen the networking of the trainees and trainers across the Union.
Specific activities will include a selection process for the trainees, trainers, and cancer centres which will participate in the inter-speciality cancer training programme. The programme is expected to train medical doctors and nurses and other specialised staff (such as thoseinvolved in medical imaging and radiation oncology including radiation technologists, medical physicists, radiobiologists, etc…) working in cancer centres in the three specialties of clinical oncology, surgery, radiology and radiation oncology with the aim of optimising the inter-speciality approach and cooperation. The training will be based on curricula previously developed ad hoc for the action and will include technology-based learning, simulations, and on-the-job training. The training programme will follow a coaching and mentoring approach with regular reporting and assessment of skills and tasks developed; case studies will be part of the training programme.
The action will increase the coverage of the inter-speciality cancer training programme across the Union, and will result in the upskilling and re-skilling of healthcare professionals in the areas of clinical oncology, surgery, radiology and radiation technology, and nursing and other specialised services, with an increase in the number of training centres engaged in theinitiative, as well as trainees and trainers.
