This FREE webinar for health professionals looks at the evidence on alcohol and cancer risk, and the population-level policies needed to change alcohol consumption in the UK.
Alcohol is harming our health. It is now the third biggest risk factor to health behind tobacco and high blood pressure, and there is strong evidence that drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast, bowel, liver, mouth, throat, oesophagus and stomach cancer.
This webinar explores the evidence behind World Cancer Research Fund’s Recommendation to avoid alcohol, and the evidence-based solutions needed to reduce alcohol-related harm in the UK.

This webinar for health professionals looks at how to return to a “normal” diet after cancer.
After cancer, some people may feel anxious about food and eating – especially if they’ve had to follow special diets during treatment.
In addition, specific cancer treatments can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, so some people may benefit from adopting “heart healthy” diets following cancer treatment.
And there is emerging research that following a healthy diet may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
This webinar explores the various aspects of eating well after cancer. It is CPD accredited by the British Dietetic Association and the Association for Nutrition.

Various factors influence a person’s risk of developing breast cancer including age, lifestyle and family history. National screening programmes can detect breast cancer earlier, resulting in better outcomes. So why is there such a disparity in breast cancer awareness, diagnosis and survival among different communities in the UK?
This webinar for health professionals, in partnership with MyNutriWeb, looks at how to help people reduce their risk of breast cancer and raises awareness of the potential inequalities that exist in the UK. Please note that you will need to register to watch the video.
