The Dorset Indian Association in collaboration with the NHS Wessex Cancer Alliance and Bournemouth University ran a very successful Cancer Awareness Event at Bournemouth University today Saturday, 25th January 2025. At the event a range of experts from University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust spoke about the risks and prevention and early detection of various cancers, including bowel, lung, breast, skin, head and neck and other cancers. The presentations also included early detection and aspects of mental health in cancer patients. BU’s Professor Steve Ersser, for example, spoke about a currently on-going interdisciplinary health education project in the cancer field.
There were separate opportunities for the audience to get on breast screening and health checks, provided by the Dorset Breast Screening Unit, LiveWell Dorset and staff based in BU’s Faculty of Health and Social Science.
