What our learners are saying

I never had Chemotherapy experience as a Registered Nurse and at first, I felt very anxious and confused as these were not the usual treatments that I have encountered.

However, when I started the course, the speakers were all very experienced and accommodating to our questions.

It alleviated my anxieties and I have felt more confident in dealing with patients who are receiving SACT.

Nurse taking our SACT course

I have had the privilege of speaking and listening at Academy events and am amazed at the level of education and care training the students are receiving. 

They are receiving a first-class start to their careers which can only be a bonus to patients like myself. 

The Academy has had a wonderful start due to the hard work of the organisers and hope it carries on for many years to come.

Patient representative

I found the online SACT course extremely comprehensive.  It developed my understanding of SACT at a cellular, molecular & pharmaceutical level in a very user-friendly way.  Also, all learning is focussed on patient-focused care, which I found relevant and useful.  

The combination of short video lectures, exercises, and reflections kept me engaged and everything is presented in a logical manner.  I found the online support and feedback excellent.

Chemotherapy nurse

I have advanced my knowledge of SACT through this course and have also furthered my clinical confidence. I found all aspects of the course - from the study days to the online learning - highly relevant to my clinical role and a key factor in my development within the unit.

I genuinely have taken a lot from the course and has only made my love for oncology and haematology grow!!
