Mobile cancer screening units

Working together to detect cancer early

Supporting the NHS' Long Term Plan, our mobile cancer screening units are addressing health inequalities by taking services directly into the heart of communities, helping to diagnose cancer early and improve patient outcomes.

We're proud to partner with the NHS and independent providers to increase uptake for screening and delivering health education programmes in convenient settings.

Innovations to support with early cancer detection

HTM compliant capacity with quick and easy set-up, a suitable solution for reaching into communities and allowing for multiple moves per day.

This unit can increase capacity for screening appointments within the hospital estate or out in the community.

Client testimonial

We know from speaking to men that some may have reservations about going to see their doctor and they’re a bit anxious about going to the hospital. In this situation, we’ve taken the message out into the community, so a mobile unit is invaluable.

This van can make a difference

Mobile clinic providing screening in the community

1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust worked together to talk to men over the age of 45 about their risk of prostate cancer and offer PSA blood tests on board a mobile health clinic, #ThisVanCan.

We provided the van, a phlebotomist and identified locations to engage with the project's core demographic in accessible settings.

The project was supported by Prostate Cancer UK, BHA for Equality, Can-Survive UK, and the Caribbean and African Health Network.
