Description

Overview

Objectives

As high-quality cancer patient’s care depends on a continuous and sustainable training and education of ahigh-quality workforce, an extended number of cancer care infrastructures across the Union, as well as of trainers and trainees will be supported by this call. In particular, the aim of this call is to extend the implementation coverage of the first cohort of the inter-speciality cancer training programme through enrolling new cancer centres, as well as additional trainees and trainers.

Activities/actions supported

Specific activities to be funded will include a selection process for the trainees, trainers, and cancer centres which will participate in the inter-speciality cancer training programme. 

Anticipated outcomes

The actions to be funded are expected to increase the coverage of the inter-speciality cancer training programme across the Union, and  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 the initiative, as well as trainees and trainers. Ultimately, the actions will help Member States to improve cooperation among their cancer services, by addressing skill gaps and better equipping the health workforce with personnel trained in cancer care.
