Cancer Awareness in the Workplace

Help your employees live longer, healthier lives.

Get in touch

Our Cancer Awareness in the Workplace programme empowers your employees to take positive action for their health, helping them reduce their risk of cancer and spot the disease early. Our nurses and health experts designed the programme and deliver it.

Every year, more than 127,000 people of working age are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Making healthy changes can reduce the risk of over 20 types of cancer. This is where we can help.

We’re the experts on cancer and you’re the experts on your workforce, so together we can create the best package. This could include tailored virtual and face-to-face activities and resources.

I’d thoroughly recommend this programme for employees – it’s really made a huge, positive difference to my health. With what I learnt, I pledged to stop smoking. I’ve now been smoke-free for a year and I feel incredible! Thank you Cancer Research UK.
