SUMMARY:The 4Ps Researcher Development Programme - Cohort 4 - Jan-May 2024
DESCRIPTION:Attendance\nCohort 4 of the 4Ps Researcher Development Programme consists of the following sessions: \n\n\n\nSession\nDay\nDate\nTime\n\n\nFoundation\nTuesday\n16 January 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\nPlace\nThursday\n15 February 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\nProject\nTuesday\n19 March 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\nPerson\nMonday\n29 April 2024\n1:00pm – 4:00pm\n\n\nPlan\nMonday\n20 May 2024\n1:00pm – 4:00pm\n\n\n\nThese will take place at the Freeman Hospital\, Newcastle upon Tyne. \nBooking\nTo book a place on this course go to Tickets at the bottom of the page. \nAt checkout you can make an online card payment or enter a coupon code to make alternative payment arrangements. \nAlternative payment arrangements include: \n\nrequesting an invoice (INVOICE)\,\norganisational arrangements for pre-payment (4Ps)\, and\nThe Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust staff internal funding (NUTH).\n\nPlease see the Making payments & Coupons sections of the Help and FAQs. \nCourse details\nThe 4Ps Programme has been developed by Newcastle’s Nurses\, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHPs) and designed to support your needs no matter where you are on the “research interested” to “Aspiring Clinical Academic” continuum. \nThis welcoming jargon-free modular programme has four modules: \n\nPlace\nProject\nPerson\nPlan\n\nThey provide you with the skills\, knowledge and confidence to move forward with research. \nThe starting point for the programme is our pre-requisite Foundation session . \nThe programme is delivered by a range of NMAHP clinical-academic colleagues\, and with input from relevant organisations including the Research Design Service\, Patient and Public Involvement panels\, universities and funders. \nWhat are the 4 Ps?\n\n\n  \nPlace\n“I am as nowhere as I can be\, can you add some somewhere to me?” \nThis module will help you to think about developing the right collaborations\, identifying the right expertise and choosing and engaging with mentors and supervisors who can support you on your journey. \nThis is such an important ingredient as relationships with mentors and supervisors can influence your whole career and can really help you to go places. \n  \n\nProject\n“Push harder than yesterday if you want a different tomorrow…” \nThis module will explore a recipe of key ingredients for a research project such as: \n\nlinking your work to strategic priorities\nlooking at the literature\ndeveloping your research question\nidentifying the right methodology and\nultimately starting to develop a project plan or application for funding.\n\n\n\n\nPerson\n\n“The best project you will ever work on is you…” \nThis module will help you to focus on you as an individual\, as a researcher and as a leader. \nWe’ll cover things like developing your research CV\, writing activities\, public speaking and all things confidence building for you as a researcher. \n  \n  \n\nPlan\n“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.” \nPlanning is so important for any piece of research\, but it’s not just about planning the project. \nThis session will help you to think about the bigger picture\, influencing up\, down and across. \nAlso what to do next regardless of the outcome of a research related funding or fellowship application. \n  \nThe starting point for the course is the Foundation session. This is an essential building block which equips colleagues to go on to the subsequent modules. We learn about the research landscape\, and begin to think about where we fit into it. We cover topics like the difference between research\, audit and service evaluation. We spend time thinking about who we are as clinicians\, as potential researchers\, and what the opportunities might be for us. \nIntended Audience\nThe Newcastle Hospitals’ 4Ps Programme supports the needs of all NMAHPs regardless of where they are on their research journey. \n\n\n\n Add to calendar

SUMMARY:Advanced training on cancer biology\, targeted and immunotherapies - January 2024
DESCRIPTION:A five day course covering the biology\, science and mechanisms behind the diverse range of targeted drug treatments and new immunotherapies for cancer with an overview of how they work – focusing on the science behind them – and describing which treatments are relevant to the most common solid tumours and haematological cancers. \nDr Elaine Vickers – a leading independent educator on the science of new cancer treatments – uses demystifying jargon to explain the resistance mechanisms to many new treatments – including the way cancer cells diversify\, evolve and avoid destruction by the immune system. \nCourse delivery\nThe course comprises a series of five morning sessions delivered online via Microsoft Teams: \n\n\n\nSession\nTopic Date and Time\n\n\n     1\nCancer cell biology and genetics and an introduction to modern cancer therapies \nTuesday 23 January 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\n     2\nTargeted cancer treatments for solid tumours \nTuesday 30 January 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\n     3\nImmunotherapy for solid tumours \nTuesday 6 February 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\n     4\nTargeted therapy & immunotherapy for haematological cancers – part 1 \nTuesday 13 February 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\n     5\nTargeted therapy & immunotherapy for haematological cancers – part 2 \nTuesday 20 February 2024\n9:30am – 12:30pm\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 comprehensive 5 day programme delegates will gain a greater understanding of: \n\nCancer genetics\, how cells work\, the causes of cancer\, how it spreads and how cancer cells evolve\, types and patterns of DNA damage found in cancer cells and their consequences\nTargeted cancer treatments for solid tumours\, antibody-based and small molecule drugs\, their uses and mechanisms of action\, and the rise of antibody-drug-conjugates\nImmunotherapy for solid tumours\, including the relationship between cancer and the immune system\, immune checkpoint inhibitors and the future of immunotherapy for solid tumours\nThe biology and genetics of haematological cancers\, and the consequences of common chromosome translocations and other mutations\, the unique properties of B cell-derived cancers and why they account for >80% of all haematological cancers diagnosed in the UK\nTargeted treatments for leukaemias and lymphomas\, such as FLT3 inhibitors and Bcr-Abl inhibitors\, and immunotherapies including T cell engagers and CAR T cell therapy.\n\nIn closing there is an overview of the results so far\, the lessons learned\, and what the future might look like. \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. She has previously worked as a 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 passionate about demystifying the science behind cancer biology and the latest cancer treatments such as kinase inhibitors\, monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapies. \nShe 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. \nHer book\, A Beginner’s Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments\, was commended by the British Medical Association.
