What Will I Be Doing?

This free online course ‘Talking About Cancer: Reducing Risk, Early Detection and Mythbusting’ helps you gain the tips, tools and confidence to have conversations with others to help them reduce their risk of cancer and take positive action for their health.

By the end of the course you’ll be able to…

  • Summarise simple, reliable facts about cancer prevention, early diagnosis and screening
  • Identify appropriate sources of support and information and signpost people to them
  • Engage those around you in effective conversations about cancer
  • Assess the barriers that can prevent people from changing their lifestyle or visiting the doctor, and engage them in a way that encourages them to take action

Talking About Cancer is led by our expert trainers Gwen Kaplan and Gill Kilgour, drawing on their years of experience as nurses. You’ll learn through quizzes, articles, interactive discussion, exercises and video scenarios demonstrating conversational dos and don’ts. It takes around 3 hours to complete, at your own pace from any device.
