Ovarian Cancer – The Clue is at the Counter

September marks Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month (GCAM)

Early detection of Ovarian Cancer saves lives and with community pharmacies are on the front line, small conversations can make a life changing difference. Together, we can spot the signs, raise awareness, and offer hope.

Kaly Mohammed, Clinical Pharmacist in partnership with Target Ovarian Cancer and Community Pharmacy Surrey and Sussex, has produced an education session on the importance of the role of community pharmacists on the front line in spotting the early warning signs of ovarian cancer and the role pharmacists can play in saving lives.
