Content of the safety webinars

The education programme covers different aspects of patient and occupational safety in cancer care. Four webinars will cover the following content:

Webinar 1        Handling cancer drugs during pregnancy and breast feeding
Webinar 2        Personal Protection Equipment
Webinar 3        Safety Culture
Webinar 4        Effective communication, key to safe cancer care

Each webinar will include lectures by leading experts, discussions, Q and A and reflections from cancer nurses across Europe.  The webinars will be sent live (but with lectures pre-recorded to allow for sub-titles in different languages). Registered students will have access to all content for six months after each live session. Documentation is provided (both regulatory documents, guidelines and published research) for each webinar.

*After watching the webinars, nurses can take an online test to request a certificate and ask their university for recommended credits. You can find links to the tests in the right side bar on this page.
