Conference on Organized Cancer Screenings and Health Communication

Within the framework of the EuCanScreen project and organized by the National Center for Public Health and Pharmacy of Hungary, the professional conference titled “Organized Cancer Screenings and Health Communication in Practice” will be held on June 3, 2025, in Budapest, Hungary.

This event puts a spotlight on one of the key factors determining the effectiveness of screening programs: the improvement of health literacy and the development of communication skills.

The basis of the conference is a newly developed educational material created under Task 6.7, which not only provides professional knowledge about the three organized cancer screening programs (breast, cervical, and colorectal), but also helps to enhance communication skills in a practice-oriented way—particularly in building better connections with patients.
Its aim is to support healthcare, social, and nonprofit professionals working directly with the public in communicating more effectively about the importance of screening programs.

The EUCANSCREEN project will be represented at the conference by: Mari Nygard (WP6 Leader), Marcis Leja (Scientific Leader), Bernd Kerschner (Task 6.7 Co-lead)
