The National Cancer Plan aims to make England a world leader in cancer survival, ensuring patients benefit from the latest treatments and technology across NHS cancer care.

From prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and support, it focuses on improving every step of the cancer journey.

Here’s how the National Cancer Plan will make a difference 👇

04/02/2026

Together, we stand against cancer.

Every cancer journey is different, but every step forward matters.

This year’s theme, 'United by Unique', recognises that cancer is more than a diagnosis. Behind every diagnosis is a person with their own story, fears, strength, and support network. That’s why compassionate, people-centred care is so important.

Knowing what’s normal for you can make a real difference. Pay attention to your body and any new or worrying changes.

If something doesn’t feel right and you’re concerned it could be cancer, please contact your GP here at South Trafford PCN.

New data shows that around 1 in 4 young people leave school without protection against HPV (human papillomavirus).

If you’ve left school, it’s not too late, you can still get the HPV vaccine at your GP practice up until the age of 25.

Have you had your AAA screening?

If you’re aged 64–66 and haven’t had your AAA screening, now’s the time.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm often has no symptoms, so screening is the only way to know.

FIT kits are now being checked at a lower threshold for everyone aged 50 to 74. This means even smaller traces of blood can be detected, helping to spot possible signs of bowel cancer earlier, when treatment is often more effective.

When your kit arrives, keep it somewhere visible and complete it as soon as you can.

Early testing makes a real difference.

Ordering your repeat prescription is easy with the NHS App 💊

If you take medication regularly, you can order your repeat prescription quickly and conveniently using the NHS App, no need to contact the surgery or book an appointment each time.

Most patients on long-term medication have a repeat prescription in place, allowing you to request your medicines online at a time that suits you. It’s a simple way to save time and manage your health.

Please remember to request your prescription at least 5 working days before you run out of medication to avoid delays.
