Residents in Coventry and Warwickshire will have a unique opportunity to access vital cancer screening information right on their doorstep as the NHS Cancer Bus Tour kicks off in the region this May. Running through to September, the mobile unit will visit key locations across the county – starting its tour in Coventry, before heading to various locations in North Warwickshire, South Warwickshire and Rugby. The Cancer Bus Tour, organised by NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Macmillan Cancer Support, aims to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and promote early diagnosis – which can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment.
Onboard the bus, visitors will find a team of healthcare experts including GPs, consultants, and representatives from the Targeted Lung Health Check and Bowel Screening teams. The team will be encouraging residents to “check it, don’t chance it” by engaging in conversations about cancer screening and local support services. Visit the bus here:
