Free Health Training from Heathwatch
I am Deb from Healthwatch Herefordshire and I would like to share with you information about our FREE training event about Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Awareness that we would like to invite you to attend.
We are offering this training around the county in the hope that at least one person from every organisation and community attends to spread have the knowledge to share with their colleagues, residents and their friends and families with the aim in increasing the uptake in screening for cancers and reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease in Herefordshire.
To do this we have created a brand new role called Community Health Champions and we are excited to invite you to join us for our upcoming Community Health Champion Training session!
This training will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in your community by promoting awareness of cancer and cardiovascular disease, prevention strategies, and early diagnosis simply by talking to people you already know.
You may also want to utilise this training by also joining us around the county on our Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Roadshow to talk to the community and raise awareness, but this is not a requirement of a Community Health Champion.
Our next session is on:
Date:
Tuesday 28th January 2025
Times:
9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Location:
Holmer Community Hall, Holmer Road (off A49), HR4 9RG
Parking:
Free parking on site.
Here’s what’s in store at the training:
– Discover why screening and prevention for cancer and cardiovascular diseases are essential to help increase early detection!
– Learn how to spot signs and symptoms early—because the sooner we act, the better!
– Pick up key facts about the local population and tips on how to connect with your community, spread the word, and tackle any barriers together.
Becoming a Community Health Champion means you’ll be part of something truly special: improving health, saving lives, and inspiring others to take charge of their well-being. We really hope that you or a colleague from your organisation are able to join us on our training, so simply let us know if you can attend. If this date is not suitable for you we will be holding sessions though to April so please let us know if you would like information about upcoming sessions.
Healthwatch Herefordshire is starting a new roadshow from January and we are looking for volunteers to help us to spread the word and have conversations with the community about Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease prevention in Herefordshire.
