Join Breast Cancer Now for free training on breast awareness for communities as part of a pilot for Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

Breast Cancer Now are delivering completely FREE Train the Trainer (TtT) breast health promotion training for ALL community-based third sector and public sector organisations, health care professionals and health promotion organisations – to ensure that more people across Glasgow and Lanarkshire have confidence in being breast aware and attend their routine breast screening appointments when invited. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the treatment options and outcomes are.

The training will enable participants to be able to promote being breast aware, how to recognise, check, and report new or unusual breast changes to GPs and provide local breast screening information to people in their own wider communities

All participants will receive a comprehensive course workbook, access to additional resources and a dedicated online learning hub, ongoing support following the training and a Breast Cancer Now certificate on completion.
