Resources for acute oncology nurses
We have tools and resources for acute oncology nurses who support people living with cancer.
Endocrine late effects guide
It's common for patients to experience late effects of the endocrine system after cancer treatment. With the right care and support, symptoms can be managed or prevented.
We've created an endocrine late effects guide to help you support patients with:
- bone problems and osteoporosis
- hot flushes
- ovarian insufficiency
- pituitary insufficiency
- testicular insufficiency
- thyroid problems.
Innovation in cancer care resources
We invest in programmes and services to help professionals adopt new and innovative ways to deliver cancer care in the UK. Working in communities and with the NHS, we fund pilots to improve experiences and outcomes for people with cancer. With this knowledge, we have created tools and resources to help you deliver:
ACCEND programme
Funded by NHS England and co-delivered with Macmillan, the Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development (ACCEND) programme provides clear and transparent guidance and direction on the knowledge, skills and capabilities required by healthcare professionals who care for people affected by cancer. It has been designed for people in non-oncology roles and specialist cancer services that are part of multi-professional teams across the UK.

Cancer nutrition information for different cultural diets
The ENRICH (Engaging Nutrition Resources for Inclusive Cancer Health) project explored the availability of nutritional resources (i.e. written information, videos and websites) for diverse ethnic communities from the Black, Asian and mixed ethnicity groups, affected by cancer.
Insights were gathered from individuals with a cancer experience as well as health care professionals providing dietary advice to people with cancer in their day-to-day work. Key findings and recommendations are summarised in the report which may provide helpful guidance for health care professionals, cancer charities, Cancer Alliances, NHS Trusts, Health Boards and Integrated care boards (ICBs).
If you are looking for healthy eating advice based on cultural diets for your patients you may find these guides useful:
