Huge well done to David who is a patient representative for us at the Alliance too. This work is so important.
The Volunteer Champion Award goes to David McCallion! Despite having stage 4 male breast cancer, David has made it his mission to educate others about the importance of early diagnosis. A truly deserving volunteer!

Taking your bra off at the end of the day feels great. And so does getting your breast screening sorted. It can detect cancer before you can feel it. Or more likely, put your mind at rest. So when you're invited, save the date. It could save your life. #GMBreastScreening

We’re looking forward to roll out this new AI tool to help diagnose prostate cancer, thanks to new funding. This technology will support our radiologists across Greater Manchester to diagnose prostate cancer sooner, allowing us to identify men who need treatment most urgently.
Lucida Medical has been awarded £2.25M by SBRI Healthcare to deploy its AI tool, Prostate Intelligence (Pi™), in up to 15 NHS hospitals. 🔗
