Course objectives:
Breast cancer care, diagnosis and treatment exist in a changing professional environment that requires practitioners to continually update and review clinical practice. If you are a registered healthcare practitioner working in the field of breast evaluation, this course is relevant to you.
This interprofessional programme enables participants to gain competence in the multi-skilled practice of breast evaluation. Shared learning for different healthcare disciplines is facilitated through a range of modules provided by collaborative partners at the Jarvis National Breast Screening Training Centre, Guildford, and at The South-West London National Breast Screening Training Centre at St George's. By developing your multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, care and management of breast disease, this programme enables the enhancement of service provision to women requesting or requiring breast evaluation.
You may be granted exemption from modules according to professional and academic qualifications. You can take individual modules as 'free standing' as part of your continuing professional development (CPD). Independent study modules enable modules to be based around your individual CPD and workplace needs.
What will you study?
You will study modules relating to clinical roles, management, supervisory and assessment roles, quality issues, research methods and ethics, as well as taking a module of independent study to meet a particular professional need or interest.
Some of the modules are developed in partnership with the Jarvis and St George's Breast Screening Centres.
