About The Royal Marsden School of Cancer Nursing and Rehabilitation
|
Dedicated to cancer education
For over 150 years, The Royal Marsden has been passionate about sharing its knowledge of cancer. This passion and commitment led us to develop The Royal Marsden School of Cancer Nursing and Rehabilitation, the UK's only dedicated provider of cancer education.
Education and training for all
The School offers cancer education for a range of healthcare professionals – from those needing a general introduction to cancer care through to clinical specialists wanting a course to support them in practice.
Our students range from those at the very beginning of their career through to cancer professionals making a difference at a national level. Whether based in NHS or private hospitals, hospices, primary care trusts or charities, our students are united by an interest in, and a commitment to, patient care.
Expert teaching
Whoever our students are, we want to help them to make a difference in cancer care. We know from feedback that what our students value is that all our education programmes are taught by people actually involved in clinical practice. Uniquely, this is why all of our academic staff continue to be actively involved in patient care.
It is also why clinical specialists from The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the Institute of Cancer Research and other organisations are so enthusiastically involved in our programmes. Our courses may involve teaching from clinical nurse specialists, lead therapists or consultant oncologists. No other cancer education provider has access to such high-quality clinical specialists.
