This online learning programme was developed by the Finnish Cancer Registry within the CanScreen-ECIS project. The project received co-funding from the European Union’s EU4Health programme.
The learning programme consists of 8 e-learning modules that may be completed autonomously. The learning programme provides an overview of the essential foundations and practices needed for effective monitoring of cancer screening.
At the end of the programme, you should have a good understanding about different aspects related to monitoring and evaluation of cancer screening programs.
This learning programme page also includes a separate section of 4 videos on providing data to the CanScreen-ECIS platform. This data collection is currently not open, but the videos present the data collection procedures and indicator platform at the end of the pilot project.
