Workshop: Consultation - Specialist Cancer Care Competencies

Development of Specialist Cancer Care Competencies for NHS Wales and associated Qualification at Level 4

Consultation Workshops

The Cancer Network has been working via their Multiprofessional forum (Health Board lead cancer nurses & allied health professionals) and Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) to develop a career pathway for specialist support workers working in cancer care. The aim is to develop a national competency framework for level 2-4 healthcare support workers (inclusive of all unregistered workforce working at levels 2-4) that will provide a definitive career and development pathway for individuals aspiring to work in cancer care.

Competencies have been developed by the cancer network multi-professional forum that coincided with the UK wide Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development Programme (ACCEND) (Assistive and supportive only) framework developed by Health Education England. Both the Welsh competencies and the ACCEND Programme aims to provide transformational reform for the career pathways and associated education, training, learning and development opportunities for the workforce at all levels to develop the core knowledge, skills, and behaviours to care for people affected by cancer. The ACCEND framework has been mapped to Specialist Cancer Care Competencies for NHS Wales to ensure all learning outcomes are compatible at the following levels:

- Supportive

- Assistive

- Pre-registration

Views during this consultation will initially be sought from the lead cancer nurses and AHP’s across Wales and then wider with the following clinical staff groups from the NHS, Social Care, Community, and independent contractors: -

· Medical and Dental

· Nursing and Midwifery

· Allied Health Professionals

· Healthcare Science

· Welsh Government

· National Strategic Network for Cancer

· Service users

Datblygu Cymwyseddau Gofal Canser Arbenigol ar gyfer GIG Cymru a Chymhwyster cysylltiedig ar Lefel 4

Gweithdy Ymgynghori

Mae'r Rhwydwaith Canser wedi bod yn gweithio drwy eu fforwm Amlbroffesiynol (nyrsys canser arweiniol y Bwrdd Iechyd a gweithwyr proffesiynol perthynol i iechyd) ac Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru (AaGIC) i ddatblygu llwybr gyrfa ar gyfer gweithwyr cymorth arbenigol sy'n gweithio ym maes gofal canser. Y nod yw datblygu fframwaith cymhwysedd cenedlaethol ar gyfer gweithwyr cymorth gofal iechyd lefel 2-4 (gan gynnwys yr holl weithlu anghofrestredig sy'n gweithio ar lefelau 2-4) a fydd yn darparu llwybr gyrfa a datblygu diffiniol i unigolion sy'n dymuno gweithio ym maes gofal canser.

Datblygwyd cymwyseddau gan fforwm aml-broffesiynol y rhwydwaith canser a oedd yn cyd-fynd â fframwaith Rhaglen Gyrfa a Datblygu Addysg Canser Aspirant ledled y DU (GCDAA) (Cynorthwyol a chefnogol yn unig) a ddatblygwyd gan Addysg Iechyd Lloeger. Nod cymwyseddau Cymru a Rhaglen GCDAA yw darparu diwygiad trawsnewidiol ar gyfer llwybrau gyrfa a chyfleoedd addysg, hyfforddiant, dysgu a datblygu cysylltiedig i'r gweithlu ar bob lefel i ddatblygu'r wybodaeth, y sgiliau a'r ymddygiadau craidd i ofalu am bobl y mae canser yn effeithio arnynt. Mae fframwaith GCDAA wedi'i fapio i Gymhwyseddau Gofal Canser Arbenigol ar gyfer GIG Cymru i sicrhau bod yr holl ganlyniadau dysgu yn gydnaws ar y lefelau canlynol: Cefnogol Cynorthwyol Cyn-gofrestru
