Understand cancer better. Join our free online learning sessions.

Why learn more about cancer?

At Wessex Cancer Support, we believe that understanding cancer can make a real difference. That’s why we offer a range of free online courses and expert-led talks designed to help individuals learn more about cancer, from prevention and early detection to treatment options and life after diagnosis. Whether you’re a patient, a carer, a healthcare professional or you simply want to expand your knowledge, these sessions are created to provide clear, practical information in a supportive and accessible way.

We know that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming but having the right information can help ease anxiety, encourage informed choices and empower people to ask the questions that matter. By offering these free learning opportunities, Wessex Cancer Support aims to break down barriers to understanding, ensuring that everyone has access to trustworthy, up-to-date knowledge regardless of their background or experience.

Our courses and talks are designed to be easy to access from anywhere, making it simple to learn at your own pace and in your own time. We are committed to supporting individuals and families across our community, because we believe that knowledge builds confidence, promotes early action and fosters a strong network of care and support around those affected by cancer.
