Leisure centres to reflect important NHS cancer awareness message

04 Sep 2024

NHS England and Better leisure centres have partnered to put stickers with vital cancer awareness messaging on changing room and gym mirrors to encourage gym-goers to look out for potential signs of cancer.

The eye-catching stickers will feature the message ‘Check you out’ and ‘Know what’s normal for you’, before reminding people that if something in their body doesn’t feel right, to contact their GP practice.

The scheme is the latest initiative by the NHS to find cancers at an earlier stage, with Better joining a number of other partners, such as supermarkets and washroom hygiene specialists, to highlight cancer messages to the public in relevant everyday situations.
