ABC UK welcomes the new National Cancer Plan. A focus on improving diagnosis & outcomes, personalised care plans, and an emphasis on less common cancers is good to see. Delivery will be a challenge, but we look forward to benefits for our bladder cancer patients! www.gov.uk/government/n...

Although many non-smokers develop bladder cancer, smoking greatly increases a person’s risk of developing it. The poisons in cigarette smoke leave the body in urine. And because urine is held in the bladder for some time before you pass it, the bladder is exposed to high levels of these poisons.

#bladdercancer is often diagnosed later in women than men. One of the most common early symptoms is blood in your wee – even just once. It might look bright red, rusty or dark brown. There may be clots. Don’t ignore it. Even if it disappears, speak to your GP. Early diagnosis is vital.

Hard to believe it’s been a week since the #RCGP2025 Here’s a lovely photo of Jackie and Di with two fantastic GPs we met during the event, such great conversations and shared commitment to improving bladder cancer outcomes! #RCGP2025 #PrimaryCare #BladderCancerAwareness #EarlyDiagnosis
