Healthwatch Blackpool were commissioned by the NHS LSC Integrated Care Board Blackpool (Population Health team), and the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance, to explore cancer awareness and barriers to early diagnosis in Blackpool. This was in response to Blackpool’s significantly higher cancer prevalence and mortality rates, compared to national averages.   In total, 1906 local people contributed their insights. On behalf of the entire Healthwatch Blackpool team, thank you to all of those who took the time to share their feedback.
