Summary

The MSc Cancer Care is a programme produced and delivered by the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, Liverpool and University of Liverpool. The programme is designed for you if you are a registered nurse, health and social care professional, someone who provides care for people with a cancer diagnosis within their care setting; or if you wish to develop your own practice in the holistic care of the person with cancer.

The broad impact of a cancer diagnosis and the complex journey of the patient and those important to them will be critically explored; enhancing awareness of individual needs and the provision of a holistic, patient centred approach to care. You will critically explore your own practice in the holistic care of the person with cancer, in order to influence development of others (peers/teams) and/or service they support in their role.

The programme will enable you to further your educational and professional development within the speciality of oncology; to drive forward practice improvements, expand the evidence base and improve care for all cancer patients.

This multi-professional part time programme allows registered healthcare practitioners to undertake master's level study whilst continuing with your NHS role. It has two intakes per year: Semester one (September) and Semester 2 (February) with both mandatory and optional module choices.

This master's level pathway is intended to enable you as a health and social care professional working with cancer patients, their carers and families in a variety of care settings throughout the cancer journey; to critically explore the evidence base underpinning decision- making and best practice.

You can tailor the programme to your area of oncology interest, expertise and practice. The programme will enable you to further your educational and professional development within the speciality of oncology to drive forward practice improvements, expand the evidence base and ultimately improve care of the cancer patient.

Whilst cancer outcomes are improving, we must strive continually to ensure that everyone with cancer, irrespective of age, gender, social class, ethnicity or sexual orientation receives world-class treatment and holistic care, throughout the entirety of their cancer journey. As well as developing expert oncology knowledge, the programme aims to develop a practitioner with relevant reflective, communication, supportive care, clinical, leadership, research and educational skills and knowledge, which will enable you to work innovatively. Either autonomously or as part of the wider oncology health and social care team, within your scope of practice to improve quality of life outcomes for all cancer patients in your care.

You will have a truly inter-professional educational learning experience though modules delivered by Nurses, Therapeutic Radiographers, Radiation Physicists, Diagnostic Radiographers, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Medics and Psychologists; as well as through a rich learning experience within your multidisciplinary cohort.
