Marie Keating Foundation Seminar

How it works

Option 1: Nurse delivered seminar

1. A qualified nurse can be made available for 2 to 2 ½ hours to deliver a seminar onsite. Each seminar lasts approximately 30 minutes, with Q & A afterwards.
2. Seminars can include all areas of cancer topics including prostate/breast/ovarian/testicular/mouth/skin.
3. The nurse will set up an information stand for participants who are unable to make it to the seminar or want to ask questions in a more private setting.
4. Visuals aids, such as tar in a jar, are used in the seminars and information packs are avaiable at each session which are relevant to the campaign running that month, which include information on support numbers/groups.

 Option 2: Mobile unit onsite

1. The Marie Keating Foundation can provide a mobile unit onsite with a staff nurse available all day. The mobile unit takes up approximately 4 car parking spaces.
2. 1:1 meetings can be scheduled throughout the day for people at 10-15 minute intervals, or it allows for an open schedule so that employees can visit throughout the day at their convenience. Employees are encouraged to visit in groups of 2 or 3 if they feel more comfortable.
3. This also includes some visual aids such as tar in a jar and units of alcohol, and the nurse can test carbon monoxide levels which is a wonderful tool for smokers.

The option of the mobile unit can be combined with short 30 minute talks onsite also.
