RPM has worked with Cancer Research UK to implement their Cancer Awareness Roadshow for over six years. The mobile unit tours harder to reach communities throughout the UK offering cancer prevention advice and free medical screenings from trained CRUK nurses. Over the years the Cancer Awareness Roadshow has doubled in size and reach, starting with just two mobile units in 2006 with a fourth introduced in 2011. Teams predominantly visit outdoor locations such as shopping centres and high streets, but are also provided with small kits to allow for flexible indoor working in locations such as work places, leisure centres and small community centres
Now it's RPM's turn to get our health checked! The Cancer Awareness unit will be hitting up the RPM car park on Thursday, offering all staff free health checks including BMI, waist measurement, and smokelyzer tests, as well as the opportunity to have a one-to-one consultation with the on-board nurses.
We’ve seen over 250,000 people from all over the country including the regions of Scotland, North east/west, Wales, Manchester & Birmingham, which is an enormous achievement! Check out the
CRUK film on the effectiveness of the Cancer Awareness Roadshow, and you can see some pics on our Flickr page.
