Course overview
This accredited course Providing Therapies for Clients with Cancer & Other Life Limiting Conditions (Oncology) qualification will prepare you to work within a healthcare setting providing complementary therapies for clients who are suffering life limiting conditions or who are critically frail. Complementary therapies are widely available to people with cancer and increasingly to patients with a range of long term medical and life limiting conditions. These therapies are delivered alongside orthodox treatments, often within the healthcare setting, with the aim of providing psychological and emotional support through the relief of symptoms. This qualification is designed to give you the essential knowledge for customer care and consultation skills to assist you to provide your own therapeutic skills within a clinical setting. This course does not teach you about cancer or other medical conditions, you will learn a gentle touch hand and arm massage routine, and will also be able to adapt your therapies you are qualified in to suit your clients, i.e., massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, etc.

How this could benefit your clients:
Assist you to provide your own therapeutic skills within a clinical setting to clients with cancer or life limiting conditions. You will learn a light touch hand and arm massage to offer to your clients or you can adapt your current massage skills to suit your clients needs.
