Sharing the message about Head and Neck Cancer
Sharing the message about Head and Neck Cancer and how to prevent it and detect it is very important to the members of the Northern Ireland Cancer Research Consumer Forum Head and Neck Cancer Subgroup.
As part of their commitment to raising public awareness about head and neck cancer, patients worked in partnership with local researchers to develop a series of public awareness videos, which were launched at a showcase event “Reels, Research and Partnerships” in Queen’s Film Theatre, Belfast for Head and Neck Cancer Awareness in April 2026.
