The session covers key cancer risk factors including diet, physical activity, body weight, and alcohol. It also introduces WCRF’s 10 Cancer Prevention Recommendations.
Participants build confidence in discussing cancer prevention with patients and clients. The workshop explores common barriers and applies behaviour change techniques to support healthier habits.
Why it matters
Cancer prevention is a growing priority across healthcare systems as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. This endorsement highlights our role as a trusted provider of high-quality, accessible, and evidence-based training.
What the endorsement recognises
The Association of Nutrition highlighted that the workshop provides clear, relevant learning outcomes for nutrition professionals. It offers strong, evidence-based insights into how diet, nutrition, body weight, and physical activity affect cancer risk.
The live online format allows direct interaction with course leaders, while flexible delivery dates improve accessibility. Overall, it is a well-structured and valuable resource for continuing professional development.
Isobel Booth, Head of Health Information at World Cancer Research Fund, said:
In a time when misinformation about health and nutrition is widespread, it’s important that health professionals have access to credible, evidence-based information. Our workshops are grounded in robust scientific evidence and aim to support health professionals to have confident, practical conversations with patients about cancer prevention.
