Cervical Cancer Awareness and Symptoms Initiative

The Eve Appeal is working on a new initiative to help disseminate key facts about cervical cancer to UK women.

The Cervical Cancer Awareness and Symptoms Initiative (CCASI) is a collaborative partnership between The Eve Appeal, the Department of Health and the UCL Health Behaviour Research Centre.

Key areas of work for the partnership are the launch of new key messages for women from the Department of Health on cervical cancer; new awareness surveys and generating media coverage and awareness of key facts through media and other channels, where The Eve Appeal will lead.

Says Jane Lyons, Director of The Eve Appeal, "We are very pleased to be working in such a prestigious partnership. It will help the charity in its key aims of saving lives from gynaecological cancers."

The new key messages on cervical cancer from the Department of Health were launched to the media at a briefing on 21 January 2010.
