Zoladex Implant
Zoladex implant training helps your team care for people with a Zoladex implant. Delivered on-site by a registered nurse, with practical work wherever the subject allows.
Why this training matters
Zoladex (goserelin) is used in two of the UK’s most common cancers: prostate (around 57,900 new cases a year, the most common cancer in men) and breast (around 59,400 new cases a year), so staff supporting people with a Zoladex implant are caring for a very common patient group.
