Opportunity to undertake a review of a pilot nurse education initiative

World Child Cancer seeks an experienced nurse educator (preferably with paediatric or paediatric oncology background) to undertake a review of a one-year paediatric oncology nurse (PON) educational course that was delivered through the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives (GCNM) in 2020/21.

Timeline – to complete review before 30^th November 2021.

The paediatric oncology nurse (PON) one-year course is a first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa. The need and the demand among nurses working on paediatric oncology wards and units across Africa for specific PON education is high.  World Child Cancer wishes to continue to support the delivery of one-year education and training courses for nurses across Ghana and beyond. And within the GCNM there is ambition to build on this initial one-year PON course.

World Child Cancer is seeking assistance from nurse educators to review the course as developed to date, and to make specific recommendations relevant for the College, the course developers, and World Child Cancer. 

Please see the Terms of Reference (ToR) attached.
