NHS cancer care is improving thanks to record investment and staff's hard work.

Wait times for diagnosis and treatment are better than a year ago. In the last 12 months, around 87,000 more people were diagnosed, or had the all clear, within 28 days, compared to the year before.

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been chosen as the first charity partner to help deliver the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy, working with the Department of Health and Social Care - DHSC.

Our partnership will support women across the country to spot the signs and know where to turn to for help at every stage of their breast cancer journey.

We have 3 clear aims to help women spot breast cancer sooner:

To make regular breast checking a habit, and to give women the information they need to recognise the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and know where to go if they notice anything unusual.

To support women finishing primary breast cancer treatment with the information they need to spot the signs of breast cancer coming back.

To provide women with easily accessible, trusted health information at every stage of their breast cancer journey.

Together, we’ll make greater progress, faster. Getting our information and awareness campaigns in even more places, and reaching even more people. So we can make sure every woman gets the information and support to spot breast cancer sooner, and we get closer to the day when everyone with breast cancer lives and lives well.

In two hours you could:

⚽ watch a football match

A new test can get patients a definitive brain tumour diagnosis in hours, rather than weeks, meaning treatment can start sooner.
