It has been another successful year for GatewayC, despite the challenges of the current pandemic.
GatewayC continues to deliver free, high-quality online cancer education. So far, we have supported over 10,000 healthcare professionals across England to improve cancer outcomes, by providing a variety of e-learning resources to support your virtual learning at a time which is convenient for you.
Our programme consists of 23 e-learning courses, our monthly GatewayC Live webinar series, a library of on-demand webinar recordings and a range of microlearning opportunities published on our website every week.
