The 4Ps Programme has been developed by Newcastle's Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals and designed to support your needs no matter where you are on the “research interested” to “Aspiring Clinical Academic” continuum.

Ideal for research nurses, clinical nurse specialists, pharmacists, clinical trials coordinators and any other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of people with lung cancer. Delivered over two morning sessions, Dr Elaine Vickers – leading independent educator on the science of new cancer treatments – will guide delegates through many of the most relevant topics relating to modern systemic treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

This 3-hour virtual course emphasises the progress made in developing novel immunotherapies for solid tumours, such as CAR T cell therapy, TCR-engineered T cell therapy, tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, T cell engagers, and vaccine-based treatments.

The fundamental idea of precision medicine is to offer each cancer patient a treatment approach that is tailored to the unique biology and genetics of their disease. This two session course provides an understanding of the concepts that underlie precision cancer medicine and both its promise and limitations.

This 5 day course aims to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to manage the care of congenital heart disease patients with complex anatomy and physiology throughout their lifetime.
