Syllabus
Right now, countless people across the UK are coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis, going through treatment or coping with the loss of a loved one. 1 in 2 people will develop cancer in their lifetime. Encouraging people to make healthy choices, access local services and visit their doctor promptly if they notice changes to their body can make a huge difference, but many of us find cancer a difficult subject to talk about. Perhaps we put off starting the conversation because we think we might say the wrong thing. Perhaps we’ve tried in the past and had a difficult experience. Or perhaps we’re not sure if it’s our job. This informative course will give you the tips, tools and confidence to have simple, effective conversations that could help save lives.
