The NHS Bus-ting Cancer Tour aims to address some of the barriers to people seeking help for cancer symptoms and the fear around cancer diagnosis.

All GP teams now have direct access to potentially life-saving tests for patients \u2013 helping to cut waiting times and speeding up a cancer diagnosis for tens of thousands of patients or the all-clear for many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Clinical Director for Cancer, Professor Peter Johnson, said: \u201cWe have seen a fantastic response to our Help Us, Help You cancer campaigns so far and are already seeing record levels of people coming forward for cancer checks, with thousands more people starting cancer treatment than in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis bus tour is another example of how we are going further in our ambition to diagnose more cancers at an earlier stage than ever before, by engaging directly with people in their own communities as they are going about their daily routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTrained staff will be on hand to discuss any concerns people may have about cancer symptoms and to inform them on what to look out for. It\u2019s vitally important that people are aware of what is normal for their bodies and that when they notice something isn\u2019t right, they feel empowered to come forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encouraging people to be aware of any changes in their body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Dr-Farzana-Image_21-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42278\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr Farzana Hussain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NHS doctor Farzana Hussain said: \u201cA key part of this new campaign is encouraging people to be aware of any changes in their body, and not to hold back from getting them checked. The NHS Bus-ting cancer tour is a great way of raising awareness about the signs and symptoms. I can only stress If you are worried that something in your body doesn\u2019t feel right don\u2019t let it play on your mind, contact your GP practice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the tour, the bus will continue to operate a normal Stagecoach service in Manchester and will continue to carry the life-saving cancer messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carla Stockton-Jones, UK Managing Director for Stagecoach said: \u201cWe are really proud to be supporting this great cause and raise more awareness in checking for the early signs of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur services cover towns and cities right across the UK, so we were delighted to partner with the NHS in getting the message out to local communities. If we can prompt even one person to get checked by their GP, then it\u2019s a worthwhile endeavour for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur \u2018Giving for Good\u2019 charity committee has supported numerous campaigns and charities throughout the year and it is always a pleasure to see these ideas come to fruition to help more people, including our valued customers and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief executive of Cancer Research UK, Michelle Mitchell, said: \u201cWith the number of people in the UK diagnosed with cancer set to rise by a third by 2040, awareness campaigns such as this, and the commitment to invest in community diagnostics centres, are important to help ensure more cancers are diagnosed at their earliest stage \u2013 when people are more likely to survive their disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeating cancer means beating it for everyone and we are delighted our Cancer Research UK nurses are supporting this work to help make sure all those affected by cancer receive the care and outcomes they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS\u2019s Help Us Help You campaign addresses the stigma and fears surrounding cancer, with recent surveys showing over half (53%) say they worry about cancer every few months or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not the first time the NHS has visited communities with lower early diagnosis rates for cancer, having more than doubled the number of community lung truck sites as part of our drive to catch more cancers at stage one or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 30,000 people are invited every month for a Lung MOT \u2013 with over one thousand (1,300) people diagnosed with lung cancer earlier, and more than three-quarters (77%) caught at either stage one or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bus will be taking the below route:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday 6 February \u2013 Blackburn (Town Hall Square 10am-4pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday 7 February \u2013 Sunderland (Keel Square 10am-1.30pm, and Sunderland International Bangladeshi Centre 2pm-4pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday 8 February \u2013 Barnsley (Barnsley Market 10am-4pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday 9 February \u2013 Leicester (Humberstone Gate 10am-1pm and Peepul Centre 2pm-4pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday 10 February \u2013 North-East London (Meridian Square 10am-4pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stagecoach has provided gratis use of the bus as part of its \u2018Giving for Good\u2019 community initiative , including a driver and the wrap of the bus in NHS England\u2019s chosen design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The bus will feature a statistic stating \u201965 out of 78 passengers on this bus would survive cancer if caught at the earliest stage\u2019 \u2013 this is based on cancer stage 1 5-year survival statistics (83.6%)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An NHS double-decker bus is touring the country, to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and to encourage people to visit their GP for potentially lifesaving checks if they have a symptom.
