CPD webinar for nurses: clinical trials in a cancer setting
A free CPD webinar for nurses worth two CPD hours on taking a multi-disciplinary approach to clinical trials in a cancer setting
Free CPD for nurses
RCNi has a programme of free continuing professional development (CPD) webinars for nurses and healthcare professionals on a wide range of clinical topics, providing an opportunity for nurses and healthcare professionals to add to their nursing knowledge, share best practice and find out about the latest development in a particular clinical setting.
Exploring clinical trials in a cancer setting
Our CPD webinar on Tuesday 9 May 2023 explored clinical trials in a cancer setting, looking at ways non-research nurses can play a vital role in facilitating clinical trials in the hospital or healthcare setting where they work.
With clinical trials becoming increasingly complex, the cancer research landscape is changing. From the management of more extreme side effects to the potential requirement for ITU beds, it is even more important that the whole clinical team have an awareness and understanding of research embedded in their standard of patient care and routine delivery.
This CPD webinar will help you to learn about the practicalities of engaging in clinical trials and balancing clinical care with research responsibilities. Find out ways to help change the research culture and improve the availability and accessibility of patient trials.
Within this practical and informative webinar, expert speakers with hands-on professional experience of clinical trials unite, all of which is made possible through the sponsorship of Cancer Research UK.

Hear from oncology nurses who carry out clinical research across the UK as they share best practice and discuss some of the challenges they face in setting up clinical trials.
