Free CPD webinar for nurses – RCNi Breast Cancer Webinar 2023

While scientific breakthroughs are giving people with breast cancer more hopeful outcomes, much improvement is needed in cancer diagnosis and treatment rates, which have seen further setbacks as a result of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 legacy has also transformed many practices in cancer care and research settings. So, what does this mean for nurses working in breast cancer today?

This timely and up-to-the-minute webinar offers you a chance to benefit from the latest research and guidance on breast cancer care, from screening through to treatment. With a firm focus on the role of the nurse, this event will create a supportive environment in which you can hear from experts, ask your questions and engage with a community of breast cancer nurses facing the same daily challenges as you.
