Welcome to the IANO Podcast series. In these podcasts we are aiming to provide nurses with an educational resource that is easily accessible and practical. The podcasts are a great way to update CPD. In the IANO podcasts Ada Kinneally presents a variety of cancer and treatment related issues that affect patients and their families on a daily basis.
Ada is joined by expert nurses and health care professionals who discuss a broad range of cancer related topics. These topics include the care of patients with cancer and their families, communication strategies to help you navigate challenging cancer related conversations, evidence based practice guidance and how cancer nurses can integrate EBP into their practice, signposting you to online resources, such as hospital and community services and useful educational resources.
We hope you enjoy the IANO Podcast series. If you enjoy the podcasts, please do encourage your colleagues to listen.
