GICR Regional Trainers – Data Quality
Targeting Childhood Cancer through the Global Initiative for Cancer Registry development (ChildGICR).
Admitting the gap in specific training in childhood cancer registration, the objective of the ChildGICR Masterclass - which was completed virtually in 2021 - was to develop training material and amplify the GICRNet capacity to provide expert advice and training in this new subject area. Three persons from the Caribbean Region, nominated through the Caribbean Hub, successfully completed the 2021 virtual ChildGICR Masterclass. A key outcome of this Masterclass was the development of standard teaching material for defined topics and discussions on training deployment plans per region.
Alumni from the 2021 virtual ChildGICR Masterclass were invited by IARC to participate in the ChildGICR Masterclass Alumni Workshop at IARC In Lyon France, October 2-4, 2024. Two persons from the Caribbean region completed the 2024 ChildGICR Masterclass.
To improve the availability, use and dissemination of high-quality cancer data to inform cancer control in the Caribbean region.
