Our events are mapped to the ACCEND framework. Find out more about ACCEND. 

This event supports the following ACCEND Capabilities in Practice: 

• 1. 5 Recognise the wider impact that symptoms of cancer, often persistent, can have on individuals, their families and those close to them
• 5. 6 Recognise and intervene when deviations occur from expected progress, meaning changes may be needed in the care plan, adapting it to the changing needs, such as cancer recurrence or end of life care
• 5.10 Recognise the significance of family, carers and social networks in planning and providing care and the importance of developing partnerships with them, with due regard for the complexity and diversity in family relationships and arrangements
• 6. 1 Provide information and advice appropriate to the needs, priorities and concerns of individuals
• 7. 4 Access information from a range of resources, and use them to meet the individual needs of service users, translating clinically related topics into language which is understandable both for individuals to self-manage effectively and for the development of patient information
• 13.12 Recognise, support and proactively manage people who require palliative care and those in their last year of life, extending the support to carers and families as appropriate
• 19. 4 Provide specialist interventions and advice to support symptom management including complex symptoms arising from cancer, cancer treatment and late effects
• 20. 6 Identify the need for additional clinical and professional support such as referral, second opinion
• 22. 2 Access appropriate sources of evidence to support their own practice in cancer and palliative care services (e.g. journals, literature reviews, research articles, audits, and arts-based practices)
• 24. 2 Engage in self-directed learning, critically reflecting on practice to maximise advanced clinical skills and knowledge, as well as own potential to lead and develop both care and services locally and regionally.
