Irish Cancer Society roadshow coming to City Square next week

The Irish Cancer Society's 'Your Health Matters' roadshow will be in the City Square Shopping Centre next week from 10am to 5pm on Wednesday, August 19 and Thursday, August 20.

Members of the public are invited to come along and speak with specialist cancer nurses free of charge, for support, advice or to ask any questions they may have.

The roadshow will also offer free blood pressure checks, body mass index (BMI) checks and carbon monoxide readings to members of the public.

Information on cancer screenings and ways to spot the early signs of cancer will also be available for free at the roadshow, as well as GP referrals where further help is required.

The Irish Cancer Society's 'Your Health Matters' initiative is a nurse led service that aims to increase awareness of cancer symptoms and encourage patients to seek medical care when experiencing early sings of cancer.

Almost 30,000 people nationwide stopped by last year's Irish Cancer Society roadshow, receiving lifestyle advice and free confidential health checks from the Irish Cancer Society nurses.
