Workforce Transformation and Education Lead
Sharon Rowe has worked with the supportive and assistive workforce since 2015. Following an early career in nursing she then chose to continue her education in clinical genetics becoming a Consultant Genetic Counsellor specialising in Cancer Genetics. Choosing to return after retirement and pursue a different direction in cancer care she created the first educational programme for Cancer Support Workers supported by Macmillan. Since joining the Cancer Alliance in 2017 she has continued to champion the roles of the non-clinical workforce and used her passion for education to create occupationally relevant educational programmes for the supportive and assistive workforce. Sharon has contributed to the development of the core cancer capabilities in Practice and Education Framework as part of the ACCEND programme and is excited to be leading on the Principles of Cancer Care Programme which she created in collaboration with Cancer Support Workers, Cancer Navigators and Cancer Care Coordinators.
