Certificate available: complete this course to be awarded a certificate
This course aims to support healthcare practitioners in recognising the symptoms of breast cancer recurrence and improve confidence in decision-making regarding referral back to breast cancer services. The course covers how a recurrence of breast cancer may present, when and where it is likely to occur, primary care investigations, and the NICE referral guidelines. It follows Liz, 58, who presents to her GP with back pain 10 years after being successfully treated for breast cancer, and utilises interactive elements, discussions with specialists, and knowledge checks to facilitate learning.
On completion of this course you will:
- Increase awareness of symptoms of breast cancer recurrence – local, regional and secondary
- Understand different patterns of recurrence in different tumour types
- Increase confidence in decision-making about referring suspected recurrence of breast cancer
- Explore ways in which psychological support can be offered to patients fearing a recurrence
