NIGHTINGALE CHALLENGE 2022

EONS YCN NIGHTINGALE CHALLENGE WEBINAR SERIES – Watch the videos!

This year we offered the following 3 webinars:

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Pain is one of the most common symptoms experienced by patients with cancer. Cancer pain takes many forms; dull, achy, sharp or burning. It can be constant, intermittent, mild or moderate. It can be caused by cancer, cancer treatment or a combination of factors. Most cancer pain is manageable and controlling it is an essential element of treatment.

The EONS Pain in Cancer webinar explored the causes of cancer pain, the treatment options available for different types of pain, and the services available for patients in the inpatient and outpatient setting.

ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH CANCER

View the webinar

A cancer diagnosis at any age is a shock, but a cancer diagnosis when you’re young is devastating. Every day, seven young people hear the words “you have cancer”. Studies, career, relationships, confidence, life all get thrown off track. Life turned completely upside down at a time when life should be whatever you want it to be.

A huge amount of care and support is needed for these patients and their families.

Join us and our expert panel for Webinar #2 – Adolescent and Young Adults to learn about the unique needs of these patients and how you can support and care for them.

Speakers:
Maria Cable, independent nurse educator and researcher, Great Britain

Sue Haig, Palliative care clinical nurse specialis, Great Britain

Kateřina Šédová, physician, founder & CEO Loono.cz, Czech Republic

SECOND-HAND SMOKING

View the webinar

The prevention campaign is running through 2022-23 to support and develop understanding how to reduce the risk of cancer through healthy lifestyle choices. There has been a huge focus in recent years on the associated risks of smoking in increasing the chances of a cancer diagnosis but less is highlighted on the impact of second-hand smoking, both personal and to those around us. Greater education and knowledge is required to support patients, colleagues and the wider community to understand the impact second-hand smoking has.

Join us and our expert panel for webinar #3 – Second-hand Smoking to learn more about preventing cancer.

Speakers:
Lena Sharp, EONS PrEvCan© Leader, cancer nurse, researcher, Sweden

Christa Rustler, Director Tobacco-Free Healthcare Service, Germany
