Cancer awareness saves lives. Every year thousands of people are diagnosed with Cancer. We know that the earlier a cancer is detected, the better the outcome for the people involved.
Why not top up your knowledge and confidence so that you can help yourself, your family members, patients and colleagues to raise awareness.
The role simply requires you to take top tips and best practice back to your setting/ hub and help to improve awareness around cancer screening and early diagnosis.
Over time, it is hoped that you will have lots of opportunities to learn from health professionals to share the good things you have been learning about.
The training is completely free of charge, but the expectation will be for each champion to complete the courses and be an active member of the group and network of local cancer champions.
What is involved?
Cancer Champion Session 3 – Networks /Signposting; 12th July 2023; 14.00-16.00
- Social Prescribing, signposting and local cancer directory and networking.
No prior skills or knowledge around cancer is required at all as full training is given. All we want is for you to want to help improve patient outcomes.
You will receive support from the local cancer leads, trainers and facilitators who are part of the course and links will be given to maintain that support, to help you in this role.
You will receive a certificate on completion of the training.
You will receive ongoing support once the course is completed and you may receive invitations to any network event with other cancer champions across Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell and Wolverhampton, to share good ideas and lessons learnt.
