Breast screening saves people's lives. But for the 4th year in a row, the NHS target for how many women should be screened for breast cancer has been missed. That’s why we’re calling on the government and NHS England to run a national breast screening awareness campaign.
Help save more lives from breast cancer
Targets being missed means thousands fewer cases of breast cancer will be found each year. If we want to save more lives from breast cancer, this has to change.
A national awareness campaign would help more people understand the importance of breast screening and bust some of the myths that put people off attending.
Please back our call to tell the government and NHS England to run a breast screening awareness campaign.
Your support could help lead to more people being screened, meaning more lives saved from breast cancer.
The main barriers to screening are a lack of knowledge. People don’t understand the risks and why they need to be screened, so they’re reluctant to attend their appointments. That’s why this campaign is so important.
