FREE Cervical Cancer Training available with Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust

Training commences from 19th January 2023 and each interactive session will last approximately 1.5 hours.

RM Partners have teamed up with other London Cancer Alliances to bring to your staff FREE online training sessions on cervical health with Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust. 

Taught by Jo’s Trust knowledgeable trainer, Lisa Gates, the training will:

• enable non-clinical administrators, receptionists, and other patient-facing primary care staff to have conversations with people in your community confidently
• increase awareness, knowledge and understanding of the importance of cervical screening, HPV and the vaccine
• cover cervical cancer, signs and symptoms, prevention and barriers to screening
• support practices in meeting the Early Diagnosis components within the PCN DES Specification
• provide attendance certificates which can be used for continued professional development.

The interactive sessions are 1.5 hours in duration and will run from 19th January 2023.

Practices are encouraged set aside protected learning time for non-clinical practice staff. 

Each person who takes the course will be encouraged to commit to speaking to 15 people about cervical screening following the training.

This training is suitable for all non clinical staff (non-clinical administrators, receptionists and other primary care staff (e.g., social prescribers and care navigators) who are often patient facing or tasked with speaking to patients.)

Please note, we have experienced a high rate of missed sessions (Did Not Attend) in West London. Individuals are encouraged to cancel their place and rebook at a more convenient time as the cost per person trained is £39. Funding for this training is available for a limited time only.
