Our new campaign “Get Cancer Clever” is now available to share. The campaign focuses on the generic, red flag symptoms that could be signs of cancer, as well as tackling some common cancer myths.
The social media pack contains tiles in standard and reels sizes. We have also produced animated versions of each in both sizes, which work well on reels. The square animation works particularly well on Facebook.
A4 Posters are also available to support the campaign – please contact gmcancer.comms@nhs.net with your address if you would like some sending to you.
Please use the hashtags #GMGetCancerClever in your posts.
