The Department welcomes the Asda ‘Tickled Pink’ campaign which they are running with two cancer charities. The Department encourages all women to be breast aware, and urges anyone with any concerns to also discuss these with their general practitioner.

Public Health England has run its ‘Be Clear on Cancer’ campaigns in partnership with Cancer Research UK since 2011 and are supported by a number of charities, for example Breast Cancer Now, Breast Cancer Care and Cancer Research UK, and other public and private sector partners.
