Thank you for completing the Cancer Champions training course
Thank you for completing our online Cancer Champions training.
The power of conversations
Please let us know when you have a conversation about cancer and/or screening after your training. These are very important to the Cancer Alliance, as they help us to show that our training is being used and enables people to be diagnosed at the earliest opportunity where outcomes are more positive.
Please promote the Cancer Champions project to your family, friends, work colleagues and members of your community.
Here are some website and video links which you may find useful.
