September is Urology Awareness Month, raising awareness of conditions affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs, including urological cancers.

This year, The Urology Foundation is encouraging everyone to pay more attention to something we usually flush away without a second thought: our urine. Changes can sometimes provide useful clues about our health.

Get to know what’s normal for you and seek medical advice if you notice concerning or persistent changes. More at: https://www.theurologyfoundation.org/impact-achievements/campaigns/urology-awareness-month-2026/

Blood Cancer Awareness Month during September

Blood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, as well as other types of blood cancer.

Knowing possible signs and symptoms and getting persistent or unexplained changes checked can help lead to an earlier diagnosis.

This year's Blood Cancer UK campaign, Here For This, shares the moments and experiences that matter to people affected by blood cancer.

Today is World Lymphoma Awareness Day.

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. There are many different types, and symptoms can vary from person to person.
Possible signs can include a painless swelling in the neck, armpit or groin, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats, itching or persistent tiredness.

Having these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have lymphoma, but if something isn’t normal for you or isn’t going away, speak to your GP.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so it’s important to take up your invitation when it arrives.

If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.

You can’t opt in to HPV self-testing – if you’re eligible, the NHS will contact you.
