 Training the Trainers – Art of Being Breast Aware and Teaching Breast Awareness: 9 Jan 2004
What a kick start for 2004! The first breast health workshop of the year was held at Corus Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on the 9 Jan 2004. Participants came from all over Malaysia and included representatives from the Johor Bahru Breast Cancer Support Group. This was organized in collaboration with the National Council of Women’s Organisations (NCWO) Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and supported by Johnson & Johnson. The aim was to train selected volunteers and healthcare workers and medical staff to train others to do a systematic self breast examination and how to understand their breasts. Dr Evelyn Ho of the College of Radiology conducted the workshop and was assisted by Mrs June Yeoh (NCWO), Rosa Ho (J & J), Lily Lee and Wong Ah Foong (Breast Cancer Welfare Association) Almost everyone felt they benefited from the workshop and a few felt the session was too short – only 4 hours long! No doubt, there was much to cover in the time, including tips and tricks in teaching self breast examination. Some of the participants had attended the basic and advanced workshops last year, but still felt the “refresher” course was helpful in their quest to be ambassadors of breast health. Participants came from various backgrounds - doctors, nurses, volunteers and breast cancer survivors.Catch the Workshop Action!
