The European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC) is pleased to announce the launch of its third Nutrition and Physical Activity Awareness Campaign, following on from successful campaigns in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The campaign will run throughout the month of March and coincides with American National Nutrition Month, a nutrition education and information campaign held annually by the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

ACCA’s (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) digital transformation project sees another key launch with a new digital platform for its students and affiliates called myACCA.

Like the hub for its members, this platform offers a new and personalised way of working with the global professional body. Students and affiliates will be able to access all their relevant information in one place – from booking exams, to exam technique and career advice.
