Who can be a Health Professional Ambassador?

Anyone who has a role that involves influencing the health behavior of the people they interact with can become a regional ambassador.

What will being a Health Professional Ambassador involve?

As a Health Professional Ambassador you will be acting as an ambassador for your local area, a link between us and your local network. You will:

  • Champion the importance of lifestyle changes in the prevention of cancer among your peers, as well as the people you support.
  • Help us understand the best ways of disseminating such information and resources among practitioners in your network.
  • Act as a voice for other health professionals or public health workers in your area, helping us shape our current and future work so that we continually meet their needs – giving us honest feedback about our activities and resources.
  • Share examples of the cancer prevention work happening in your area, helping to promote the work and share good practice across the network.

The role of a Health Professional Ambassador is informal and flexible, and can be shaped to fit around your work commitments. We are exploring new ways of developing our programme and always welcome emails of interest from practitioners.
