Collaborative education and training is the only way forward for the cancer care work force. The Calman‐Hine report has become the benchmark on which to build practice since its launch in 1995. A forward looking group ‐ the Cancer Care Alliance of Teesside, South Durham and North Yorkshire Education Group and the University of Teesside ‐ adopted its principles from the Calman‐Hine Report and developed some strategic projects to address and achieve them. A needs assessment of cancer education influenced the agenda within the Cancer Care Alliance. The education portfolio that was developed had a multiprofessional focus, incorporating both academic and non‐academic study.
