BHCC Cancer Awareness & Early Diagnosis Service

Brighton & Hove City Council is commissioning a service that delivers a Cancer Awareness and Early Diagnosis Service to help improve cancer outcomes in the Brighton & Hove city area.

The purpose of the service is to increase early diagnosis by:

• Increasing awareness, knowledge and confidence about the signs and symptoms of cancer.
• Increasing awareness of, and number of people attending NHS Cancer Screening Programmes.
• Working with other organisations in the city to raise knowledge and awareness of cancer.
• Targeting engagement in deprived communities and tailoring communications to specific audiences.
• Incorporate the use of digitally enabled care to help patients and their carers manage their health.

A number of organisations have been commissioned to provide cancer prevention services and local awareness campaigns in the city, and the successful bidder will need to build on this work.
