New Ethnic Diversity Training Launched For Health Professionals ...

...The family is divided about what is best for him.

Another example features a South Asian Muslim woman attending her GP surgery to have her contraceptive coil checked.

The practice nurse would like to perform a cervical smear at the same time but is challenged to discuss this with the woman.

Examples are also used from contemporary dramas such as Humara Safar, involving a South Asian family.

Professor Joe Kai, from the University of Nottingham, said: "PROCEED can help health professionals ensure that patients and their relatives across diverse groups understand their individual health care needs.

PROCEED uses a number of different learning styles and incorporates DVD scenarios based on real life situations.

It is easy to use and provides help and guidance for trainers.

"We hope that PROCEED will contribute to reducing current inequalities in access to cancer care and other health care for people from ethnic minority groups.

We have worked closely with practitioners and educators from a wide range of health professions to ensure that the resource is truly responsive and appropriate to individual needs." Visit the PROCEED website for more information and details of how to order the training resource.

If present in the primary tumour, metastagenes such as S100P trigger the rapid spread of cancerous secondary tumours to other tissues in the body via the bloodstream - a process known as metastasis.

Although primary tumours can be removed surgically, secondary tumours are more difficult to control.

This research has been funded by the Cancer and Polio Research Fund.

The new discovery builds on several years' work carried out at the University to investigate the genes that cause cancerous tumours to travel to other tissues in the body.

To date, three other metastasis-inducing genes have been discovered - S100A4, osteopontin, and more recently, AGR2.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often the only optio...
