"Kendal Lymphology Centre hosted an exercise rehabilitation workshop recently for over 25 HCP’s. The day was an inspiration to all – especially those of us working with Lymphoedema patients. To have the information backed up with relevant research was fantastic and meant that it was easier for us all to go back to our work place and implement some of the advice Anna put forward.’".

 

Courses for Health Professionals

CanRehab will tailor lectures, seminars, workshops and programmes to meet your specific needs. The workshop can easily be adapted for a specific focus and may include optional supplementary modules or one to one support. Each talk and workshop considers its target audience, specific areas of interest and personalises the service accordingly.

Cancer Rehab Solutions

Based on our experience to date we are able to adapt these training courses to meet the needs of our clients. Some clients have asked us to focus on a specific cancer type (eg breast/ colorectal) or to include supplementary modules on the effect of exercise on a specific cancer related symptom (fatigue/ lymphdoema) or to explain how to set up cancer rehabilitation services with patients at a particular stage of treatment (eg palliative / survivor).

The training programmes are tailored to your budget and can include ongoing support to answer any questions, update you on the latest research and to train future new employees.

Please contact us for information on these worshops.
