Learning at Penny Brohn Cancer Care

Welcome to the education section of the Penny Brohn Cancer Care website. We offer courses and seminars for healthcare professionals, complementary therapists, psychotherapists and counsellors.

Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly Bristol Cancer Help Centre) is the leading UK charity, which has pioneered and specialises in the Bristol Approach to cancer care.

The Bristol Approach is a holistic approach to cancer care that uses a range of complementary therapies and self-help techniques designed to help people deal with the emotional, physical and spiritual impact of a cancer diagnosis. The Bristol Approach works hand-in-hand with medical treatment and is underpinned by the science of psycho-neuro-immunology which is supported by leading oncologists.

These pages detail the courses run by Penny Brohn Cancer Care to help professionals to learn more about the Bristol Approach and how to incorporate it into everyday working with clients. Select from the list below:

The NICE Guidelines published in March 2004 place a strong emphasis on the need for psychosocial support and complementary therapies within NHS cancer services for people living with cancer, and on the importance of NHS and other healthcare workers developing skills in these areas.

The courses will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about the different aspects of the Bristol Approach. They will also help you to understand how to help people with cancer to manage their illness. Its social, psychological and spiritual aspects, the symptoms and side-effects of treatment, and how people with cancer benefit from the promotion of a sense of wellbeing at the time of lifethreatening or life-reducing illness.
