Welcome to the 2020 Prospectus
Welcome to the 2020 learning offer.
I joined Macmillan and the newly formed Professional Development and Knowledge team in August 2019 and we have spent the last few months reviewing and developing the offer.
We are always looking to build on our learning offer to meet your requirements and to help you continue to grow. Please keep an eye out in your Mac Mail e-mail for updates on additional courses we may add throughout the year, especially as we introduce more digital learning later in 2020.

Introduction
Welcome to the 2020 prospectus of our programme of courses from March to July. Take a look through and you’ll find a varied selection of opportunities to help you develop your skills and expand your knowledge so you can continue to provide the best support and care to people living with cancer.
As a health or social care professional, you know that cancer can affect people in a number of different ways – from their health and their relationships, right through to their finances and their work. The needs of people living with cancer are ever changing and as a result, so are the demands placed on you. To help equip you to meet these needs and demands, we’ve designed a clear framework that divides our courses into seven specific themes:
• Personalised care and support for people living with cancer• Emotional health and wellbeing • Leadership and change• Palliative and end of life care• Communication skills
Each course specifies a skill level (all levels, foundation, intermediate or advanced) so you can quickly find the opportunities that are most suitable for you.

Communication Skills Courses
13
Communication Skills Courses
Communicating well is something we all have to do in many aspects of our working and personal lives to build rapport, understand concerns, and help decision making. Good communication can create harmony and improve relationships as well as make people feel good.
Being able to communicate effectively and confidently with people living with cancer, your colleagues, your Managers and those around you is something that might seem obvious, but if you’ve ever experienced a ‘tricky’ conversation you will know good communication is not always straightforward.
Positive and effective communication can require skill in terms of listening well, responding in a way that is helpful, using effective questions, and building rapport to enable meaningful conversations with others. Macmillan’s communication skills courses offer you the chance to learn more, whatever your role or experience.
14
Listening and RespondingFoundation Macmillan Professionals, Wider

What will I get out of it?An opportunity to build on your existing skills and develop appropriate and constructive ways of listening and responding to people through active practice.

End of Life and Palliative Care Courses
There are few certainties in life, but there is one thing we can be sure of: none of us will live forever. So we all need and deserve high-quality end of life care.

Our foundation learning offer gives you the opportunity to build confidence in talking about death and dying, understand more about advanced care planning, and help you to identify ways in which you can support people affected by cancer when talking about end of life care.
Our learning offer has been designed for health care professionals who are not continually exposed to palliative and end of life care patients, and aims at building up your knowledge and skills about how to open up the conversation or acknowledge the cues from a patient to talk about death and dying.

Health Care Ethics in Complex Case Decisions Intermediate Macmillan Professionals
Aims for the day• Understand basic principles of health care ethics (e.g. four principles approach)• Explore the concept of ‘informed consent’ from an ethical perspective• To understand the professional and statutory duties of candour and how they interact• Explore how ethical principles can be applied to complex cases in cancer care
Macmillan professionals possess valuable experience of managing ethical dilemmas in cancer care but without a clear conceptual framework it can be difficult to pin down the source of unease, settle on a plan of action, put ethical reasons into words, or identify the different ways people are thinking when teams have to tackle new problems together. Being able to refer to ethical principles and concepts supports individual reasoning, promotes good discussion between colleagues, and helps build confidence in ethical decision making.
This study day has been designed to help Macmillan professionals share a common language for talking about ethics in their work. Learning about ethicalprinciples is done while debating topical ethical issues from different angles.
Participants will work with colleagues to tackle a range of realistic case studies, consciously using ethical concepts and frameworks to explore all aspects of the problem and identify possible solutions. Participants will be provided with aworkbook containing ethical scenarios and research literature to support their own learning, and to share with colleagues
Who is it for?Anyone working as a regulated professional is subject to the same professional ethical requirements.

Leadership and Change Courses
We use leadership skills in many aspects of our working life without always realising it. Leading teams, projects, caseloads or change may be obvious but influencing and negotiating, developing personal impact, and coaching others are often also a necessary part of our role as we work with people living with cancer.
Change is becoming a constant in this busy world and we all have many concurrent changes happening, whether organisationally or personally. For some of us change can be difficult to navigate or lead others through.

Managing the Consequences of Cancer and its TreatmentsFoundation Macmillan Professionals and Wider Workforce
At least 25% of people with a cancer diagnosis in the UK are facing poor health or disability after treatment for cancer – and the percentage is much higher for certain cancers and treatments. Soon, almost half of the population will get cancer at some point in their lives, but the proportion of people who survive will also continue to rise meaning that a growing number of people will be living with the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. Failure to manage consequences of treatment effectively can compromise survival and quality of life for people living with cancer.
This one-day study day will explore the consequences of cancer and its treatment, including both physical and psychological effects such as chronic fatigue, sexual difficulties, mental health problems, pain, urinary and gastrointestinal problems and lymphoedema.
Aims• Understand the range and scale of potential treatment effects• Understand the impact that treatment and its effects can have on a person’s life (both the physical and psychological consequences)• Know which resources are available to support people to self-manage and identify when referral on to more specialist services is requiredThis day is at an introductory level and is for everyone involved with providing information and support for people living with cancer in a clinical or non-clinical role.

Neutropenic SepsisFoundation eLearning Macmillan Professionals and Wider Workforce
Duration: 12 minutes
A dramatic reconstruction that examines the issue of neutropenic sepsis.
A short video providing insight into the issues of sepsis.
“Chemotherapy can reduce the number of white blood cells (neutrophils) produced by the bone marrow. These white cells are essential for fighting infection. If the number of white cells in the blood is low, this is called neutropenia. Therefore, patients with neutropenia are much more liable to infection.
If an infection does develop, patients can become seriously ill much more quickly than normal. When this happens, it is called neutropenic sepsis.”

The HOPE ProgrammeAn overview
The HOPE programme – Help to Overcome Problems Effectively – is a health and lifestyle coaching course to support people after cancer treatment. Originally developed by Coventry University, it is now a licensed and accredited self-management programme run in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support. The programme uses cognitive behavioural techniques based on hope theory, self-efficacy theory and motivational in-terviewing. HOPE is for people who may feel abandoned after cancer treatment and who may be finding it difficult to cope with the long-term effects. It helps people self-manage problems such as feelings of anxiety, fatigue and concerns for the future. As such, the course is increasingly becoming part of the support offered to people who have completed their treatment. HOPE is a group programme delivered by health and social care professionals, together with trained volunteers with a personal experience of cancer. All facilitators are assessed and regularly monitored, ensuring positive outcomes for people attending the programme. The course takes place over six weeks in weekly 2½ hour sessions. Shorter courses are available in some areas.
How HOPE can help the people you support The HOPE self-management course is for all people who have had cancer, regardless of the type of cancer. It recognises the commonality of unmet psychological and emotional needs (fear of recurrence, reduced confidence), physical needs (fatigue and need for physical exercise), and social needs (such as social isolation).
People who have taken part in the course say it has helped them to: • feel reassured • recognise their potential to make changes to improve quality of life • deal with anger, depression, anxiety and frustration • use positive communication skills and reflective listening • set goals and take problem solving steps to achieve their goals • address difficult problems • use relaxation techniques • share the course experience with family and friends.
