Hide AdChristine said: “It’s more important than ever that we continue to raise awareness of cancer.
“We are looking forward to talking to lots of people from Falkirk about the steps they can take to help reduce their risk through changes like stopping smoking, reducing alcohol intake and keeping a healthy weight. Experts estimate around four in 10 cases of cancer could be prevented each year in the UK, largely through changes like these.
The nurses will be on hand to have conversations about the importance of spotting cancer earlier – when it is more likely to be treated successfully – and to support people to seek help from their GP if they notice anything that isn’t normal for them.
They can talk to visitors about ways to reduce the risk of cancer by making positive health changes like stopping smoking, cutting down on alcohol and eating a healthy, balanced diet. They can signpost towards free support services as well as give out information on cancer screening.
