Would you recognise the symptoms of bladder cancer?
Early detection saves lives but too many people don’t know what to look out for.
We've launched a powerful new video to help change that!
Please watch, share & help us spread the word.

Surgical innovation goes beyond tech—it’s about better care for patients & the teams who treat them. On our visit to Cambridge, we saw world-leading research, advanced training & vital wellbeing initiatives like Doctors for Doctors, supporting surgeons to provide the best care.

Although many non-smokers develop bladder cancer, smoking greatly increases a person’s risk of developing it.
If you need support to stop smoking - visit the NHS Quit Smoking resource, here:

Smokers can feel worse after cancer treatment than non-smokers & this can last as long as 6 months post-treatment. In contrast, smokers who quit before treatment starts have a similar experience to non-smokers.
