Join businesses across Greater Manchester to find out best practice to enable early diagnosis and better support staff affected by cancer.

One in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, with 17,000 diagnoses in Greater Manchester in the last year.

It touches every workplace.

The Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance, in partnership with The Growth Company, is bringing together senior leaders, HR and wellbeing teams from across the business community for a morning of honest conversation and practical action to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and equip employers to better support staff affected by cancer.

You'll hear directly from people with lived experience of cancer, those who understand the importance of early diagnosis, and experts who work in this space every day.

By the end of the morning, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how your business can empower employees to understand some of the signs and symptoms of cancer, and when to seek help, the gap in workplace cancer support and practical steps to begin closing it.
