Yesterday morning we heard from Nicola about her experiences of Breast Cancer and in the afternoon we heard from Emma about her experience of Crohn's Disease. It was brilliant to hear both Nicola and Emma raising awareness of these health conditions. Thank you both for being so open and helping us understand!

People First Merseyside are hosting a special film premiere at the Plaza cinema in Crosby, and it would be great if you could join them.

The film we will be showcasing has been created by the members of People First Merseyside, a self-advocacy organisation run by, and for, people with learning disabilities.

It carries a powerful message about the importance of cancer screening. It also stars clinicians from our health and screening services across Cheshire and Merseyside helping our actors to show what’s involved when you attend a screening appointment.

🎟️ Tickets must be obtained in advance, follow the link in our bio to get yours!
