Cultural barriers and a lack of awareness about “what cancer is”?, in communities can often lead to late diagnosis and poorer survival rates. We will look to address these issues through a proactive community engagement training programme.
The key main areas that we will look at are;
• Health and Wellbeing
• Cancer Prevention and Early Diagnosis
• Cancer Screening Programmes
• Signs and Symptoms
• Living well and beyond Cancer
This training will aim to improve early diagnosis of cancer, addressing some of the
health inequalities. Talking helps breakdown fear and barriers. This training program is designed in conjunction with Cancer Research UK, and will give participants the
knowledge and confidence to have conversations in their community about cancer
prevention, myth busting and early diagnosis.
This training will run over 2 sessions and both sessions must be completed.
The sessions are as follows – via Microsoft teams.
Tuesday 21st January – 10-12pm
Thursday 13th February – 12-2pm
