Abstract
Objectives: To develop an education resource to suit the needs of healthcare professionals caring for Lymphoma Patients.
Process: The Lymphoma Nurse Board members were identified as key in the generation of content to be delivered to healthcare professionals, as they possess knowledge of the current clinical requirements for nursing lymphoma patients and staff education issues. Using the nominal group technique (NGT), the group generated an action plan which identified the healthcare professionals to target; ways in which the education could be facilitated and finally a priority was identified to take forward. Further to this work an online and paper based survey was issued to the wider nursing forum members to generate a consensus opinion.
Results: The final action plan identified that an online resource for the nursing members of the Lymphoma Association forum would allow an increase in their professional education, with the ultimate facilitation of the online resource as a cascade of education to all levels of staff within their local areas. The education will focus on core standards of care specific to lymphoma patients and will initially replicate the existing paper based resource. The online platform will give the opportunity to increasingly build a resource that will include case studies, interactive activities and will provide continuous professional development to enhance the healthcare professionals learning portfolios.
Conclusion: This presentation will illuminate the inclusive development of an online resource and showcase the final education package.
