Our cancer bus tour is coming to an area near you.
Early diagnosis of cancer is vital; detecting a problem early on can mean that treatment is more effective.
Cancer experts will be visiting locations across Birmingham, the Black Country and Solihull on a bus dedicated to providing health checks and important screening information about cancer.
The bus aims to give our local communities the opportunity to not only catch any warning signs of cancer as early as possible, but it will also be a chance for people to talk to a host of professionals, from the NHS to MacMillan Cancer Support and Diabetes UK.
At the cancer bus, NHS staff and our partners will share signs to look out for, how to live the healthiest possible life and signpost you to useful services.
