Global Action Initiative: “The 60-Second Check & Patient Voice Project”

1. The 60-Second Head & Neck Check

• Encourage clinicians across specialties (ENT, oncology, dentistry, primary care) to perform a simple, structured 60-second opportunistic screening for all patients during the week.
• Each participating center records the number of individuals screened.
• Aggregated global data will be showcased on the IFHNOS platform as a measure of collective impact.

2. The Patient Voice Wall (Global Digital Campaign)

• Each society/center/member shares either:
  • A short patient insight (quote on survivorship, challenges, or recovery), or
  • A photograph of clinicians/patients holding a placard with the message:
    “I Checked / I Care / I Support Head & Neck Cancer Awareness”
• Submissions will be compiled into a Global Patient & Provider Mosaic hosted on the IFHNOS website, symbolizing solidarity across geographies.
  

These initiatives aim to:

• Reinforce early detection practices at scale
• Center the lived experience of patients
• Create a visible, measurable global footprint of participation
