Closed Fund a campaign to raise awareness about bile duct cancer

Closed on

Bile duct cancer affects thousands of people in the UK, but is currently little known. An awareness campaign could help raise awareness of this cancer across the public and healthcare workers, and encourage people experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention, and help improve diagnosis.

The Government has said there are no plans to run a specific public awareness campaigns on bile duct cancer. This must change.
