That’s what days like this are all about: making health information clear, accessible and easy to understand.

Thank you for sharing such important knowledge with the community 🙌

It was a pleasure to welcome partners from Macmillan Cancer Support to the Can You C Me? Merton Cancer Conference 2026.

Bringing organisations and communities together is essential to improving how cancer support is accessed, understood and delivered — particularly across diverse communities.

Events like this create valuable opportunities to connect, share insight and strengthen the relationships needed to drive meaningful change.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this work and contribute to improving outcomes for people living with and affected by cancer.
