World Cancer Day business toolkit

Research has revealed that over a third of UK cancer cases are detected in Emergency Departments, by which time it may be incurable¹. It’s a statistic that we want to change. The good news is that the more we all know about cancer, the better the chances of a better outcome.

How does this effect your business?

Sadly, half of us will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during our lifetime². So, it’s likely that you’ll have members of your team who have, or will be, directly affected by cancer. As an employer it’s vitally important that you continue to raise cancer awareness. You should also try and encourage your employees to understand and spot the symptoms and seek potentially life-saving treatment straight away.

Our toolkit to support World Cancer Day can help increase recognition of cancer symptoms in your workplace.
