Workforce education and training is integral to achieving the themes outlined in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (2023). Wessex Cancer Academy aims to ensure that healthcare professionals have as many opportunities as possible, to access the education or training they need to support and improve patient experiences, and to contribute to the ongoing development of their knowledge and skillset.

The Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development Programme (ACCEND) provides an approach for practitioners at all levels to develop the core knowledge, skills and behaviours to care for people affected by cancer and to grow professionally throughout their own career pathway. We welcome you to explore the range of training platforms that are available to you.
