What learners on this course say
I have really enjoyed this course! It has provided excellent assessment and management knowledge, developed my assessment skills, and made me even more excited about how our own acute oncology service will grow and develop.
The course encompasses what acute oncology is and can be. It has provided structure to my assessments and in turn improved my plans for patients.
The multiple different categories and options for learning new skills, refreshing old ones or trying different challenges, and the student project resources are superb.
