For Healthcare Professionals

NCUK Academy

Neuroendocrine Cancer UK’s NCUK Academy is a competency-based, CPD-accredited NCUK Academy Nurse Course. The NCUK Academy is independent and free to access at any time. It was designed for nurses (and allied healthcare professionals), working across a range of healthcare settings, to provide a free online resource regarding neuroendocrine cancer – what it is, how it may present, and how it is diagnosed, treated, and managed.

The Academy is a competency-based modular programme that aims to promote awareness and encourage a deeper understanding of neuroendocrine cancers – enhancing the knowledge, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills of those completing it.

Developed by our specialist nurse, AHP, and expert patient faculty and endorsed by UKINETs, the Academy includes a combination of evidence-based, resources, clinical practitioners, and patient video presentations. It is divided into 4 key inter-related E-learning components:

RCGP Learning
Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Course

In an average practice of 10,000 patients, approximately 5 patients will be living with and beyond a diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN). This course aims to increase the primary care clinician’s knowledge of neuroendocrine neoplasms, thereby improving the time to diagnose and manage patients with NENs. Throughout these two modules we will discuss the types of NENs, common presenting symptoms, the challenge their diagnosis presents, and the importance of primary care input following diagnosis.

An educational grant was received from Neuroendocrine Cancer UK for the production of this resource. Educational content was supported by NCUK but final editorial and content decisions were made by the RCGP.
