What you do day to day?
I have recently joined BHA and I manage a team of five who work in the community as Community Engagement & Development Officers. We look at how they can promote the sessions in the workplace. We are always looking for opportunities at events like the carnivals, festivals, shopping areas where we can reach many members of the Black, Asian & ethnic minority communities to raise awareness of breast, prostate and cervical cancers. One of my projects encouraging women to get their cervical screening checks and we’re planning more prostate cancer sessions for men. I will work with some of our prostate cancer champions to see what we can offer in male dominated environments.
Anticipate Challenges?
I like find a way of managing challenges when they arise and as a team we can manage to do the work that we need to do.
