The Fairlands Practice Patient Participation Group will host a cancer awareness event at the Fairlands Community Centre on the afternoon of Friday, September 21 (2018). The event will be open to the general public and not just patients registered with the Fairlands Practice.

Many of us don’t like talking about cancer but cases of cancer are on the increase as the UK population is ageing. By learning about cancer, we can take action to cut the risks.

Being able to recognise the symptoms is important in getting early diagnosis and treatment. These days a range of treatments is available to patients, and there are likely to be practical issues to be considered (e.g. financial and work-related).

There will be a series of talks by experts, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions at the ‘Let’s Talk About Cancer’ event.

In addition to the talks, stalls will be run by relevant organisations such as Topic of Cancer and Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care.

A full list of speakers will be published nearer to the date.

Doors will open at 1.15pm and the event is scheduled to finish at 6pm. There is no need to book.

Fairlands Community Centre is on Fairlands Avenue, GU3 3NA.
