It's Friday, the sun is shining, and we're about to wrap up the first week of @bowelcanceruk's new campaign, 'Tell Your GP Instead'. Over a year in the making, this isn't your usual cancer awareness campaign... 🧵

1 in 4 Brits don’t track their poo, even though it’s a free daily health check. As a part of the next phase of our incredible partnership with the team at Andrex we’re encouraging everyone to ‘Look Back and Track’ 🚽 Read more about this exciting and innovating next stage of our partnership: bit.ly/44SSXiW

Yesterday, our team visited our #GetOnARoll partner, @coopuk at their headquarters in Manchester 🧻  We spoke to hundreds of Co-op employees about the signs and symptoms of #BowelCancer. As well as hosting two awareness talks so the team could learn more about the disease including the screening programme and risk factors.   We’re so grateful to the Co-op team for their incredible continued support. Get in touch to explore how we might be able to make a difference through partnership together: bit.ly/4eNKDVw

It’s #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth and we’re launching our #PassItOn campaign. Today we’re passing on this key message. Having symptoms doesn’t always mean you have #BowelCancer. But it’s still important to find out what’s causing them. Learn more about the symptoms: bit.ly/4kJm8w9

74,000 cancer patients waited too long for cancer treatment in 2024, & incidence is increasing. @bowelcanceruk we're speaking with #OneCancerVoice in signing this letter to @thetimes Behind that stat are people and their families with so much to live for and no time to waste.
Bowel Cancer UK@bowelcanceruk13 Feb 2025
We’re speaking with #OneCancerVoice in signing this joint letter to The Times with 50+ colleagues across the cancer community. We welcome and support @wesstreeting's cancer plan. But to be successful, it’s vital that this commitment is backed by the investment needed.
A joint letter from the 50+ charities who are a part of #OneCancerVoice coalition. We're calling on Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to commit to fully funding the National Cancer Plan and make research into cancer a priority.

Fairly certain we're safe from the prospect of AI turning into Skynet. Tonight, I asked Gemini to come up with suggestions for movies that could work well for a 40th birthday celebration. Its best option was The 40 Year Old Virgin!

This morning's @WalesAudit report on cancer in Wales is troubling. It shows how things simply aren't moving in the right direction, with a lack of clear leadership. As a result, patients are being let down. Two things really stand out for me... 🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj49…

NHS Wales: Confusion and lack of direction causing poor cancer outcomes

Increased investment has not made a difference to the ongoing failure to meet national cancer targets.

Bowel screening has been a plus point recently. Then you see this stat and realise just how much there is still to do. Given screening is the best tool to pick up the earliest (most treatable) bowel cancer, this isn't good enough. @bowelcanceruk

NHS staff in Wales work so hard to provide the best care they can for cancer patients. And yet, we are seeing lack of progress in improving early diagnosis, long waiting times, and missed opportunities to innovate. This has to change. Patients are counting on it. #cancercantwait

Just like that our 2024 roadshow has come to an end. We’ve had an amazing year visiting lots of destinations all over the UK. We want to thank everyone who stopped by to chat, as well as our wonderful volunteers. Together we’re raising vital awareness of #BowelCancer.

The earlier #BowelCancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. Knowing the symptoms of the disease can help you to spot it early. Learn about the symptoms: bit.ly/475m1DO
