What can professionals do to help?
We must come together to raise the profile of blood cancer.
Help raise the profile
It is clear that raising public awareness of blood cancer will make a significant difference to the lives of people affected by it. This is why, at Blood Cancer UK, we are on a mission to get blood cancer recognised as one of the five most common cancers.
But we can’t do it on our own.
It's time to come together
Like everything else we’ve ever achieved as a charity, delivering this change will depend on the efforts of the thousands of people who come together for a common cause. So, if you’re reading this and are asking if you can help, the answer is: yes.
What can you do today?
Perhaps you’re a Parliamentarian, a healthcare professional, a researcher, or simply another organisation interested in raising the profile of blood cancer. You can help by:
- Amplifying the message – make sure everyone knows that blood cancer is the fifth most common, and third biggest cancer killer in the UK, by sharing and retweeting our work around raising the profile of blood cancer to your own audience.
- Advocating for the inclusion of the phrase 'a type of blood cancer' in conversations and literature.
- Ensuring people with blood cancer know what support and services they are entitled to.
- Asking the Government to ensure blood cancer is specifically considered in their cancer plans and targets.
