The Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development Framework
The Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development (ACCEND) programme aims to provide transformational reform for the career pathways and associated education, training, learning and development opportunities for the workforce providing care to people affected by cancer.
You can find the full version of the framework on the NHS England ACCEND website, as well as implementation guides to support practitioners, employers and educators.
Guidance on how Macmillan's education and training is mapped against the ACCEND framework can be found on the ACCEND page.
