Cancer care

The cancer prevention, awareness and screening improvement strategies and work programmes are steered by the North Central London Cancer Alliance. Together we work to increase participation in the three national screening programmes; Breast Cancer Screening, Bowel Cancer Screening and Cervical Cancer Screening. 

There are several projects in Barnet focused on raising public awareness of cancer screening, the signs and symptoms of cancer and the importance of seeking help early, with a specific focus on reducing health inequalities.
