New ACCEND eLearning Hub for supportive and assistive workforce

Posted on: May 6th, 2025 by Charlotte Murray No Comments

The aspirant cancer career and education development (ACCEND) programme in partnership with the NHS England Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) team has launched a new eLearning toolkit designed to support and inspire those working in supportive and assistive roles to increase their knowledge and awareness of cancer.

The toolkit contains guidance, resources and key learning opportunities created for those working within supportive and assistive roles, such as cancer support workers, cancer navigators, healthcare assistants and therapy support workers employed in various settings. It is also suitable for those working within nursing, allied health professional teams, administrative and pharmacy teams who would like to progress into more cancer specific roles.

The ACCEND programme is a cancer career and education development programme that supports aspirant cancer nurses and allied health professionals towards increasing their knowledge, skills and capability. The programme aims to increase and improve the supply of the cancer health care professional workforce in the future. It also provides the existing cancer workforce with access to the education and training needed to match the competencies required for their role.

​You can find out more about the ACCEND programme, the national framework and the supportive and assistive toolkit on the eLfH website.

Late career AHPs supporting practice based learning resource now live

Posted on: November 2nd, 2021 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked in partnership with the Health and Care Professions Council and NHS England and NHS Improvement to develop a new elearning programme to provide allied health professionals (AHPs) in their late career with information so they can consider the options that are available to them, rather than leaving the NHS completely.

The resources are also suitable for individuals who have already retired and who may no longer be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.

To grow and deliver an AHP workforce that meets the ambitions set out in the NHS People Plan and Long Term Plan, it is essential the knowledge and skills of our late career AHPs are harnessed and provide the opportunity for individuals to leave their legacy.

The programme is made up of two sessions, each taking around 45 minutes to complete with additional activities and resources available for learners.
For more information about the elearning programme, including details on how to access the free resource, visit the elfh website.
