CCLG Band 5 Education Day- Paediatric Oncology and Haematology
2026-05-15 | Horizon Leeds LS10 1JR, 3rd Floor, 2 Brewery Wharf, Kendell Street, Leeds, LS10 1JR, United Kingdom
Dear member of the Paediatric Oncology Nurse Educators group,
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
Band 5 Education Day – Paediatric Oncology and Haematology
15 May 2026, Leeds
Register here: https://buytickets.at/cclg/2092683
Junior Band 5 Staff Nurses working within Paediatric Oncology and Haematology services across the UK are invited to attend a dedicated Band 5 Education Day.
Working in paediatric oncology is both rewarding and challenging. The workforce needs education and training beyond the basics which are currently available in the NHS. There is a nationally recognised gap in adequate education provision provided by experts working in the field. Recruitment and retention of the junior workforce remain a priority if we are to maintain good standards of care for the future. We know that without additional support the junior workforce can experience work related distress and isolation leading to moving to a less challenging field of practice. With the right support our junior nurses can build a lasting a highly rewarding career.
This interactive study day has been developed to support ongoing learning and early career development within this specialist field. The programme will explore key clinical themes relevant to current practice, including:

Palliative Care in Paediatric Oncology and Haematology
Immunotherapy: principles, treatments, and nursing considerations
Aftercare and long-term follow-up for children and young people

The education day aims to enhance clinical knowledge, promote reflective practice, and support the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based, and compassionate care to children and their families. In addition, the day will provide valuable opportunities for networking and professional engagement with Band 5 peers from Paediatric Oncology and Haematology services across the UK, supporting shared learning and collaboration.
Please see the agenda for the day attached. CCLG Band 5 Education Day Agenda 2026
