Cancer Support - MacMillan Expands Internet Support Portal

More support made available to people living with cancer and their carers as cancer support charity Macmillan expands Learn Zone, their virtual learning environment, with funding from Bonita Trust. It is an e- learning site, providing crucial cancer specific learning resources and activities to Macmillan health and social care professionals and people living with cancer.

The Macmillan Learn Zone:
It includes e-learning courses focused on the concept of “Survivorship” for the almost 2,000,000 people living with cancer in the UK, such as: Basic Cancer Awareness, User Involvement; and Benefits Awareness. Between 2007 and 2008, hits on the Learn Zone increased from 1.5 million to 7.5 million. As an initiative to support cancer charities in the UK, Bonita has provided funding to enable Macmillan to expand the content on Learn Zone to provide new information, resources and tools specific to people living with cancer and their carers.
