Newsflash: BAHNON and Get A-Head Charity Strengthen Partnership
 

The British Association of Head and Neck Oncology Nurses (BAHNON) and the Get A-Head Charitable Trust have reaffirmed their commitment to accessing and advancing education in head and neck cancer care through a supportive partnership.  

We appreciate that gaining funding from Trusts in the current financial climate in the NHS is challenging and therefore as part of their ongoing collaboration, Get A-Head would like to provide grants which support education for healthcare professionals.  

 

These grants are only available to BAHNON members and therefore to apply you will need to email us @  bahnonurses@gmail to receive the grant application link.  This is so that we can verify you are a paid-up member of our organisation.  

This partnership continues to play a vital role in empowering head and neck nurses, improving patient outcomes, and shaping the future of cancer care in the UK 

Claire Barber, President of BAHNON and Danni Heath, Get A-Head
