title: A cultural change in cancer education and training.
abstract: Collaborative education and training is the only way forward for the cancer care work force. The Calman-Hine report has become the benchmark on which to build practice since its launch in 1995. A forward looking group--the Cancer Care Alliance of Teesside, South Durham and North Yorkshire Education Group and the University of Teesside--adopted its principles from the Calman-Hine Report and developed some strategic projects to address and achieve them. A needs assessment of cancer education influenced the agenda within the Cancer Care Alliance. The education portfolio that was developed had a multiprofessional focus, incorporating both academic and non-academic study.
