Planning a workshop

A few weeks ago when I was over at the Royal Marsden I met up with the Arts Officer there, who is both creating an amazing arts programme for hospital patients and also curating and refreshing all the artwork that is displayed around the hospital. I’ll pop up another post with some images from our tour around the hospital at some point soon, but I wanted to record here the ideas we had about involving some of the clinicians who could give a perspective on the idea of the Ecosystem of the London Cancer Hub. The idea of running a workshop for Research Nurses emerged as they are central to the idea of ‘bench to bedside’, which is the intention to create a smooth transition to and from between research and clinical trials or treatments, an idea that feels to be at the heart of the idea of a London Cancer Hub ecosystem. You can find out more about Research Nurses here and about an example of ‘bench to bedside’ here.

After some drafting and conversation here’s the flyer that resulted. I hope it will be a fun experience for some research nurses as well as an opportunity to find out something of their perspective on the ecosystem. The flyer has gone out, and though as yet there are no bookings I am hopeful there’ll be some interest a bit nearer the time!
