Today is World Cancer Day.

1 in 2 of us will develop some form of cancer in our lifetime.

That’s why awareness, early detection and prevention is so important. Attending for screening when invited, knowing the signs and symptoms, and making healthier choices can make a difference.

Well done to Dr Dillon for campaigning to lower the age for bowel cancer screening from 60 to 50 & for sharing his own experience with bowel cancer 👏🏻

⭐ AN inspirational Banbridge doctor has been commended in the NI Assembly for his campaigning efforts to lower the age eligibility for bowel cancer screening.

👨‍⚕️ Dr Jonathan Dillon was diagnosed with bowel cancer just before his 50th birthday in 2024, and has since spoken candidly about his experience and the need for increased awareness.

🗣️ During Members’ Statements at Stormont on Monday, Eoin Tennyson MLA highlighted the GP’s cancer journey - and his determination to help save lives through screening.
