As part of Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, Rasha Abu-Eid and Katie Hanna joined NHS Shetland colleagues in an ‘Early Detection of Mouth Cancer’ event aimed at the local public.
The event included a well-attended talk aimed at the general public to increase oral cancer awareness delivered by Rasha and Katie.
Rasha also delivered a continuous professional development (CPD) session to NHS health care workers in Shetland and Orkney. The hybrid CPD session was attended by 41 colleagues including staff from GPs, ANPs, Pharmacy, Speech & Language and Dentistry.
As part of the event, NHS Shetland ran oral cancer drop-in screening sessions, where members of the public came to be examined or speak to our experts. The drop-in sessions were well attended with 38 screenings and four referrals for biopsies.
