What the science shows and how to support patients in practice
FREE – Online – 12:30-1:30pm Wednesday 25 February
As nutrition plays an increasingly important role in reducing cancer risk, this CPD-accredited webinar offers health professionals clear, evidence-based guidance on the benefits of ‘plant-forward’ eating – and how to turn the research into practical support for patients.
Grounded in findings from World Cancer Research Fund’s Third Expert Report, this session will help you appreciate how plant-forward and plant-based eating aligns with the Cancer Prevention Recommendations.

By joining this webinar, you will be able to:
- Understand how plant-forward diets support cancer prevention.
- Recognise how plant-based approaches align with the Cancer Prevention Recommendations.
- Gain practical tools to confidently promote plant-forward eating in practice.
What we will explore
What “plant-forward” means, focusing on whole and minimally processed plant foods, without requiring vegan or vegetarian diets.
- The evidence base, including research on fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and legumes, and their links to reduced risk of certain cancers.

- Practical tools to help patients make small, sustainable changes.
