London Global Child Cancer Week CCLG Webinar

Nurse training and education are fundamental to capacity building in children’s cancer care. This webinar will provide the opportunity to hear directly from nurses engaged in partnership working between the UK, sub-Saharan Africa and Pakistan. Learning, training, support and inspiration work both ways in these rewarding and very important partnerships. How can these initiatives help to further address the ongoing challenges and inequalities in access to cancer care for children and young people? Register to find out.

Members of the CCLG Global Child Cancer Group include doctors, nurses, pharmacists, allied healthcare professionals and others. There are established partnerships between some CCLG centres and colleagues in low and middle income countries (LMIC). The group aims to share ideas, strengthen existing links, establish new ones, provide teaching opportunities and inform and inspire any interested people. 

During LGCW 2025 we will hear from specialist nurses with a depth of experience working with nurses in LMIC. They will present their past and current work in terms of teaching, training, supporting and inspiring nurses in Africa and Pakistan.

This meeting is free to attend for all those with an interest, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
