Our Work
In Healthcare
We are here to support and enable both healthcare professionals and non-clinical staff to promote the breast awareness message. We provide patient information, materials for your waiting room and education resources for all staff to encourage the nation to start checking their chests.
We know healthcare professionals, particularly GPs and nurses, play an important role in diagnosing breast cancer early. They also have a great influence earlier on in the journey, encouraging healthy checking habits. Our research shows young women claim doctors have the most influence in encouraging non-checkers to start.
We want to make sure that all young people are informed about the importance of checking their boobs, chests, breasts and pecs. That is why we have designed the materials and resources below to help you to educate, encourage and empower your patients to start coppin’ a feel!
Attend a webinar!
Our CPD-accredited webinars are for all healthcare professionals, but have been created specifically for GPs, Nurses, Midwives, Sexual Health Professionals & Allied Healthcare Professionals. All the webinars are built around core learning objectives, and for each speciality there is tailored information for your discipline.
The key learnings are:
- Recognise the benefits of early diagnosis in breast cancer specifically
- A refresher on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
- Breast Awareness vs Breast Self Examination
- The facts and common misconceptions about breast cancer
- How CoppaFeel! can support you in encouraging healthy checking behaviours through our free materials and resources
