This work has been developed with the help of a number of experts, including clinicians and charities such as Target Ovarian, Ovarian Cancer Action, Ovacome and Pancreatic Cancer UK.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign will include radio, print, digital and out of home advertising (bus shelters and pharmacy bags). The activity is aimed at men and women who are over the age of 50 from lower socioeconomic groups, and their key influencers, such as friends and family.</p><p> </p><p>As with all Be Clear on Cancer campaigns, the regional pilot will be evaluated and results will help inform decisions about how to expand in future.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 06/02/2017 13:50:29 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
