After reading a thread on here last month regarding an IOSH member describing how a Cancer Awareness program he ran (or that that effect), resulted on a member of staff detecting Cancer. I found this very interesting and wondered if anyone had experience of undertaken a Cancer Awareness at Work Campaign. Would it be as simple as emailing every employee with a leaflet on acertain type of Cancer, tehn repeat several days later with another???

emmett, the campaign can be designed any way you wish, ideally tailored to the target audience so that outdoor workers may be more receptive to skin messages whilst the current Movember campaign is specifically concerning male cancers (my moustache is coming along fine).
If your workforce has work-related exposures then that may be a good place to start.
The content of the campaign may be as simple as an e-mailed leaflet but could also go as far as speakers, seminars, exhibitions and providing screening sessions.
I would suggest that emailing a leaflet every few days may not be the most effective way to achieve wide awareness and may even close-off some people to information which may be very relevant.
Good luck with your initiative. There is a wide variety of organisations who can provide material and assistance on the wide variety of cancers out there.
