The types of cancer awareness workshops, availability and how to take part.


Group workshops

Our Talk Cancer training programme is available in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Prices range between £380 to £1,250 and can be run either online or face-to-face. We'll listen to your group’s needs to find the best training format to suit you. We have four group workshops available to book:

Talk Cancer

Our standard cancer awareness training workshop. You’ll learn the skills to talk to people about ways to reduce the risk of cancer, spotting cancer early and the national cancer screening programmes

Talk Cancer for Pharmacy

Our cancer awareness training workshop with content tailored for pharmacists and their teams

Train the Presenter

An extension of our cancer awareness training workshop where we train people in how to deliver a scripted presentation focussing on cancer awareness and how to manage audience questions and discussion

Talk Cancer in Any Language

Our standard cancer awareness training workshop interpreted into any language, including British Sign Language. If you provide the interpreters, we can work with you to tailor the workshop content to be relevant and culturally sensitive to your community.

Individual workshop

If you don’t have a group to book a workshop with, we also offer our cancer awareness workshop online to individuals for free.

We try to accommodate multiple people from the same organisation, but if there are more than two people, we may not be able to have everyone attend and would instead recommend a private group workshop.

Register your interest for a future online workshop.
