Educational Resources
The National Cancer Nursing Education (EdCaN) project provides a way forward for the development of the cancer nursing workforce in Australia through a framework and a set of capabilities outlining the role expectations of nurses working in cancer control. CNSA is currently reviewing the framework to update it for modern cancer nursing practice, and you can learn more about the project here.
