📢 FINALISTS ANNOUNCED! 📢

We are delighted to be able to share the finalists for the 2026 Greater Manchester Cancer Awards.

For the third time, we want to celebrate those who have the dedication to go above and beyond every day to improve outcomes and experiences for patients here in Greater Manchester.

This year there were eight award categories available to enter. Over 100 entries were judged by a panel made up of clinicians, managers and user involvement representatives. The quality of entries this year was truly phenomenal, and the decisions on who to shortlist were extremely difficult.

The winners will be announced an awards ceremony on 12 May 2026.

See link in comments to find out about our finalists.

Big shout 🗣️ out to the amazing nurses who guide us through our cancer journey 💙

We’re taking a moment today to recognise the incredible work of Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists.

CNSs play a vital role in cancer care. They offer expert knowledge, practical support, emotional support and a trusted point of contact for people navigating a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and life beyond cancer.

Today, we’re celebrating the difference they make every day. Let us know who you’d like to thank in the comments 💚

It's Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!!!🎉😍

So why are we celebrating the awareness that Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness Month brings with it? 👇

💙Not only is CRC the SECOND leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. for men & women, but it's the LEADING cause of cancer death for men & women under 50
💙The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 158,850 Americans will be diagnosed and 55,230 will lose their life to CRC this year
💙BUT, when caught in its early stages, CRC is extremely treatable and beatable!

That's why awareness, this month and beyond, is SO important!!

Male breast cancer is rare, but it does happen. 💙

Less than 1% of breast cancer cases in the UK are in men, with around 390 men diagnosed every year.

🔍 This Rare Disease Day, help us spread the word:
✅ Regularly check yourself
👀 Look out for any unusual changes
📅 Book an appointment with your GP if something doesn’t feel right
