We were delighted to join Bowel Cancer UK to mark Bowel Cancer Awareness month in parliament at the inaugural meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Bowel Cancer.
Attendees included Ben Lake MP, Rebecca Long-Bailey MP and Gerald Jones MP to learn more about bowel cancer and how to get involved with the work of the APPG. The aims of the group are to improve patient outcomes, promote best practice and encourage better collaboration between patients, parliamentarians, government and the NHS.
The College, along with The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), provides the secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diagnostics to highlight the value of diagnostics, promote the diagnostic workforce, and improve diagnostic services by raising awareness of the barriers and solutions to optimising the early and swift diagnosis of diseases, illnesses, and injuries. We will be working closely with the APPG on Bowel Cancer to help improve early diagnosis and outcomes for bowel cancer patients.
