Resources for health science professionals

The ICR has produced a number of interactive resources for healthcare professionals who are involved in cancer treatment.

These resources were developed with the aim of promoting and disseminating the educational, research and clinical activities of the ICR, in order to improve the treatment, care and quality of life of people with cancer.

Interactive CD-ROMs

We have produced an award-winning series of resources on the management of the symptoms of cancer, providing practical guidance for clinicians. They include videos from experts in the field and cancer patients, detailed patient case studies, and extensive information for both clinicians and patients.
