Effective and transparent communication of NCRI data is essential in advancing public health efforts. By employing a variety of strategies, NCRI ensures that its data reaches the people who need it most. Discover more about the strategies NCRI uses to communicate its data.
Reports and publications
One of the primary ways to share NCRI data is through reports and publications. These reports compile the latest statistics and analyses, and highlight many topics including:
- emerging cancer trends
- the effectiveness of prevention and treatment initiatives
- cancer disparities
- areas where prevention efforts are needed
These reports provide stakeholders with the necessary insights to guide decision-making.
Peer-reviewed articles
NCRI publishes scientific articles in a variety of national and international peer-reviewed journals.
Public awareness
Public awareness is a key component of NCRI’s communication efforts. NCRI engages with stakeholders, making NCRI data available for awareness campaigns about:
- cancer trends
- prevention
- screening
- the importance of early detection
Printed and digital informative material also helps bridge the gap between data and public understanding. This material takes the form of:
- flyers and leaflets
- infographics
- social media activity
Interactive data dashboard
NCRI provides an interactive data dashboard that allows users to access incidence and survival data directly.
Events and conferences
NCRI staff regularly attend events and conferences on oncology and related fields. These events offer a platform for NCRI to present its findings and latest statistics.
Collaboration with Stakeholder Groups
NCRI collaborates with various stakeholder groups within the health and research sectors. Collaboration facilitates organisations to incorporate NCRI findings into their own reports and campaigns. This increases the reach of NCRI data. It also ensures that insights from NCRI are integrated into broader cancer strategies. NCRI work with research communities in developing further research into cancer in Ireland and internationally.
Continuous improvement and feedback
An essential aspect of effective communication is the establishment of feedback mechanisms. Engaging stakeholders about NCRI data provides valuable insights into how it is being used and perceived. This feedback guides future data collection and communication strategies.
