Bowel Cancer UK: Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and awareness talks
Created: 05/03/2025
News/Events Category: Health and Social Care
April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer, the fourth most common cancer in Scotland.
The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. In fact, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it is diagnosed at the earliest stage.
Free online awareness talks
Delivered by a volunteer with a personal connection to bowel cancer, you’ll learn about the most common symptoms of bowel cancer, the risk factors associated with the disease and the importance of the NHS bowel screening programme.
These pre-booked talks are open to anyone who wants to educate themselves about bowel cancer, so you can get involved no matter how small your group, or even as an individual. Free tickets will be available up until the events take place. You can book these tickets on Eventbrite using the links below:
Talks are available at the following dates and times:
- Tuesday 08 April 2025, 11am-12pm. Book your place
