Over the past year the ECMC Research Nurse Network Group has delivered training for more than 40 research nurses new to working in early phase cancer research. The aim of this training is to equip new early phase research nurses to deliver high quality, patient-centred care within the regulatory framework. The ECMC has run this training at various locations across the UK five times. We recognised the importance of ensuring that new research nurses continued to have the opportunity to access this training. The one-day in person training was updated to become two half-day online sessions.
