London Global Cancer Week Webinar
Join World Child Cancer and Soleterre for a webinar on ‘Addressing the emotional wellbeing of personnel working with children with cancer in low to middle income countries’
Healthcare staff working with children with cancer and their caregivers in low to middle income countries experience high levels of stress.
In many settings little or no support is available to personnel (medical and non-medical) working with children with cancer and their caregivers.
Soleterre and World Child Cancer have been working to address the needs of the personnel to ensure they are better equipped to deal with the different stressors in their daily work routine.
Sign up below to join our webinar on Thursday 18th November 12pm – 1pm GMT, as part of London Global Cancer Week.
Speakers:
- • Megan Cruise, Psychosocial Support Advisor, World Child Cancer
• Samba Vera Larfi, Nurse, Mboppi Baptist Hospital, Douala, Cameroon
• Ashiraf Yiga, Nurse, Uganda Cancer Institute, Uganda - • Mr Damiano Rizzi, President of Soleterre and Oncopediatric Psychologist
• Ms Laker Joyce Ocen, Psychologist
