An NHS-branded bus is travelling the country to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and to encourage people to contact their GP practice if they notice something in their body that doesn’t feel right, because finding cancer early makes it more treatable and can save lives.

Kicking off its tour, the bus will head to its first stop in Grimsby on Monday 27th November, before moving on to Coventry, Nottingham, and Basildon and will complete its route in Portsmouth on Friday 1st December.

On Monday 27th November 2023, the bus will be at ASDA East March, Grimsby where local NHS staff, charity workers and cancer survivors will be talking to people about common cancer symptoms and encouraging them to act on changes in their body that are unusual for them.

Also in attendance will Cancer Research UK GP, Dr Dan Cottingham, and local cancer survivor Liz, who has had a personal experience with cancer and will be supporting the engagement team to raise awareness. The tour is part of NHS England’s ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign to help drive earlier cancer diagnosis, tackle health inequalities and save lives.

The bus tour is in collaboration with Stagecoach and will be visiting five towns and cities across the country that have some of the lowest early cancer diagnosis rates from Monday 27th November to Friday 1st December.
