SUMMARY:Methods of Wound Debridement - December Cohort
DESCRIPTION:This two-day course held on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th December will teach the different methods of wound debridement\, with a special focus on conservative sharp debridement\, facilitated by the Newcastle Hospitals’ Tissue Viability Team with guest speakers from Dermatology\, Plastics\, Podiatry and from Newcastle University. \nThe objective is to provide a summary of the professional accountability and legal issues associated with wound debridement alongside the theoretical basis to justify the decision-making process in the selection of the appropriate debriding agents. \nA pre-course workbook will be sent 4 weeks prior to the face to face study days via email which will need to be completed and submitted it on Day 1 of the course. \nA course pack will be provided on Day 1\, which will include the course handbook\, the notes from the presentations and other useful information. \nLearning outcomes\nDebridement describes the removal of dead or devitalised tissue\, in particular matter and foreign bodies from a wound bed and is generally accepted as a necessary precursor to the formation of new tissue (EWMA 2013). \nAt the end of this two-day course delegates will be able to: \n\nExplore human anatomy and physiology including in depth revision of the buttock\, sacrum and lower limbs\nIdentify normal and abnormal wound healing including when biopsy may be required\nExamine wound debridement techniques and identify the differences between conservative sharp debridement and surgical debridement\nDemonstrate clinical knowledge and practice skills required to perform safe and effective wound debridement techniques\, practiced in laboratory conditions\nUse analytic skills to appraise the available literature related to wound debridement\nOpportunity to develop academic writing at Level 7.\n\nCourse lead\nDr Fania Pagnamenta\, Clinical Academic Nurse Consultant has a real passion for tissue viability and wound care management and has years of experience supporting nurse colleagues on the wards to deliver wound care to their patients as well as colleagues’ professional development. \nAcademically\, Dr Pagnamenta works at Northumbria University as a researcher where her main interests focus on leg ulceration\, clinical pathways\, and ways to prevent simple wounds from becoming chronic ulceration. \nAudience and criteria\nRegistered nurses with a degree in nursing or related subject\, working in a clinical area where wound care and wound debridement is undertaken on a weekly basis. \nApplicants must identify a practice assessor in their organisation who is a designated Wound Care Health Professional \nApplicants must also be working in a clinical area that currently supports learners\, and where complex wound care is regularly undertaken. \nCourse dates\nThe attendance dates for the December cohort are: \n\nTuesday 12 December 2023\nWednesday 13 December 2023

SUMMARY:Introduction to cancer biology\, targeted and immunotherapies - November 2023
DESCRIPTION:This course introduces the biology of cancer\, the faulty genes that drive its behaviour\, and the science behind systemic treatments including immunotherapies and precision medicine. It also describes the rationale behind a diverse range of targeted drug treatments and immunotherapies available today. \nDr Elaine Vickers – a leading independent educator on the science of new cancer treatments – uses demystifying jargon to explaining the resistance mechanisms to many new treatments\, including the way cancer cells diversify and evolve and the complex environment in which they live. \nThis introductory course is ideal for healthcare professionals who are new to the provision of cancer care or wish to refresh their knowledge. \nCourse delivery\nThe course comprises a series of five\, one-hour long sessions delivered online via Microsoft Teams: \n\n\n\nSession\nTopic Date and Time\n\n\n      1\nCancer biology and genetics \nThursday 16 November 2023\n2:00 – 3:00pm\n\n\n      2\nTargeted cancer treatments \nThursday 23 November 2023\n2:00 – 3:00pm\n\n\n      3\nIntroduction to immunotherapy \nThursday 30 November 2023\n2:00 – 3:00pm\n\n\n      4\nImmunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors \nThursday 7 December 2023\n2:00 – 3:00pm\n\n\n      5\nTargeted treatments and immunotherapies for haematological cancers \nThursday 14 December 2023\n2:00 – 3:00pm\n\n\n\nDelegates will be given access to recordings of all sessions for six months after completion of the course. If you are unable to attend a session the recording will ensure you can review any content you have missed. \nLearning outcomes\nBy the end of this introductory programme delegates will: \n\nUnderstand cancer as a disease caused by DNA damage that accumulates in individual cells combined with an ageing immune system\nBe introduced to targeted therapies – which patients receive them\, why they cause side effects and why they don’t always work\, as well as how they are designed and what they target\nExplore the relationship between cancer and the immune system and understand a range of immunotherapy approaches\, including the importance of T cells as a common immunotherapy target\nAppreciate the strengths and weaknesses of immune checkpoint inhibitors as an important group of immunotherapies now given to thousands of patients with many cancer types\nLearn about treatments for haematological cancers\, such as antibody-based treatments and small molecule kinase inhibitors\, including the progress made with CAR T cells.\n\nCourse lead\nDr Elaine Vickers PhD of Science Communicated Ltd\nDr Elaine Vickers\, PhD of Science Communicated Ltd has worked as a cancer educator for over twenty years and has previously acted as science communicator for three of the UK’s leading medical research charities\, including four years in the Science Information team at Cancer Research UK. \nElaine is experienced in teaching people with any level of scientific or medical knowledge from cancer patients through to medical oncologists translating complex and often overwhelming topics into easily digestible and understandable knowledge\, using colourful illustrations to explain scientific concepts. \nShe is passionate about demystifying the science behind cancer biology and the latest cancer treatments such as kinase inhibitors\, monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapies. \nHer book\, A Beginner’s Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments\, was commended by the British Medical Association book awards.
