The impact of chemotherapy treatment from a physiological, pharmacological and bio-psychosocial perspective. Safety and governance issues will be explored.

How will it be delivered?

How will participants be assessed?

Students must also provide evidence of achievement of baseline clinical skills in the administration of chemotherapy. A skills-based workbook is used to facilitate this.
