All Aboard the Cancer Awareness Bus: Bringing Life-Saving Information to Your Town

Residents across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are invited to visit the Cancer Bus as it makes its way through 15 different towns, offering vital information, free health checks, and friendly conversations about cancer.

The Cancer Bus tour is part of a wider effort by the NHS to raise awareness about cancer, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection. Visitors will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about different types of cancer and who may be at risk
• Understand the symptoms to look out for
• Find out about NHS cancer screening programmes designed to catch cancer early
• Receive a free health check
• Ask questions and have open conversations with healthcare professionals

Dr Gary Free, Clinical Director for Cancer at the NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB), said:

“We know that early detection of cancer can save lives. The Cancer Bus is a fantastic way to bring vital information straight to the heart of our communities. Whether you want a health check, have questions about screening programmes, or just want to learn more about cancer signs and symptoms, we encourage everyone to come along.”
