Current activity
Early diagnosis public marketing activity is run by NHS England through their Help Us Help You campaigns. We support by raising awareness with healthcare professionals to ensure they are prepared.
Historical activity
Be Clear on Cancer campaigns were run between 2011 and 2018 to raise awareness of signs and symptoms and encourage the public to see their GP.
We work with the Public Health Agency to produce cancer awareness campaigns which meet the needs of Northern Ireland.
In February to March 2025, we supported a cancer screening campaign to encourage eligible people to take part in the bowel, breast and cervical screening programmes.

We’re raising awareness and promoting use of the updated Scottish Referral Guidelines for Suspected Cancer with healthcare professionals. Read more about the Scottish Referral Guidelines
We support cancer symptom awareness campaigns in Wales to encourage help seeking and drive the earlier diagnosis of cancer. In May 2025 we focussed on the earlier diagnosis of lung cancer with a campaign to raise awareness of symptoms and encourage help seeking among people aged over 50 living in more deprived areas.
