With cancer affecting so many of us, it's important that we reduce the chances of becoming unwell, provide excellent care to diagnose early and support patients through their treatment pathway.
Cancer Awareness Event
On the 17th of October 2023, a significant Cancer Awareness Event on Lawrence Walker Celebrations Day took place at Firstsite in Colchester, we worked in partnership with the African Families by helping to organising the various professionals that spoke and had stalls.
​
This initiative was designed to raise awareness about various types of cancers and their screening Programmes. The event served as a valuable platform for information, insights, and engaging discussions with experts in the field.
