MASTERCLASS
Description
The new-formatted Masterclass in Oncology Nursing programme is designed for advanced oncology nurses as a multi-professional joint event. Five intensive days of full immersion in modern oncology will create a collective spirit of teaching and learning to improving clinical skills and patient care.
In organ-oriented Clinical sessions focusing on breast cancer, gynecological cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer, an international faculty of experts will deliver clear knowledge of today’s practice and address cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.
Spotlight sessions will facilitate compact update on hematological cancers, development in immunotherapy, adolescent patients, cancer and pregnancy and long-term survivorship.
Nursing sessions are specific nursing-oriented sessions on communication, supportive care, symptom clusters, care of the older patient, guidelines, side effect management and symptom management.
Practical training will be offered in the frame of group mentor sessions on advanced clinical practice.
