Courses at The O'Reilly Centre

The e-Academy in CPD for Breast Cancer Rehab by Siobhan O'Reilly is a highly comprehensive resource with up-to-date clinical and rehabilitation information for physiotherapists working in this area. With increasing numbers of patients living with and beyond cancer in Ireland, there is an urgent need for this e-Academy to build knowledge, skills and capacity amongst physiotherapist working in breast cancer rehab in Ireland.

This program is very comprehensive and provides a wealth of information and resources that will prepare Physiotherapists to treat persons diagnosed with breast cancer. The website is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. Pictures are very helpful and the quizzes are very helpful in determining understanding of the information. I appreciate the evidence based information and easy access to all the resources.
