Held every year on 1st December, World AIDS Day is more than a ribbon. We continue to advocate for access to testing, treatment and prevention for everyone.

Together, we can work towards a future where HIV is no longer a global threat, aiming to end new cases by 2030.

World AIDS Day is important because it reminds the public and government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.

Pancreatic cancer often causes no symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they’re the same in men and women and often vague or intermittent. This can mean it’s sometimes missed. Understanding and knowing the symptoms to look out for can help with early diagnosis, which results in improved outcomes.

Look out for:
• Unexplained upper abdominal pain
• Sudden weight loss or loss of appetite
• Indigestion, bloating or early fullness after small meals
• Nausea or vomiting, especially after fatty foods
• Fatigue or general weakness
If you’re worried, please make an appointment via our online request form.

The most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include indigestion, tummy or back pain, and changes to your poo. Find out more.
