The NHS is hitting the streets of Merseyside looking for the public's views on cancer services, support and care.
Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance (CMCA) is an NHS organisation responsible for improving prevention, diagnosis and support for patients across the region. It runs outreach events to boost awareness and increase early detection, including one at Toxteth's Kuumba Imani Millennium Centre during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in March.
That workshop was aimed specifically at Black men, who are twice as likely as men in general to develop that the condition. In an effort to bring together organisations, patients and other people affected by cancer, the alliance is running a series of 'roadshows' throughout Cheshire and Merseyside from May to June.
