Macmillan Person Centred Care Competency Framework
Our education and training resources are aligned to the Macmillan Person Centred Care Competency Framework (MPCCCF).
The framework shows the roles and competences, education and training required by Macmillan Professionals and the wider cancer workforce to meet the needs of people affected by cancer.
The framework can be used in primary, secondary, tertiary and social care settings enabling you to better meet people’s needs.
