Cancer Support Workers / Cancer Navigators

Cheshire and Merseyside have one of the largest numbers of CSWs working in a variety of roles. Building on the success of our Cancer Development Programme, we have created a virtual ‘Principles of Cancer Care Programme’ (PCCP), a 4-day programme designed for the supportive and assistive workforce. The programme is aligned to HEE’s ACCEND framework which can be accessed here

Dr Clare Byrne, Deputy Director of Nursing for Cancer Services at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, describes how CSWs have become vital members of the cancer healthcare team and why education is important to their role.
