Conquest hospital staff raise money for breast cancer services

The team held a series of fund-raising events within the hospital, such as a lottery and guess the number of sweets game, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The money was raised from other members of staff and will go to local groups and services who offer help and support to patients who have breast cancer treatment.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a national campaign that aims to highlight a disease that affects more than 46,000 women a year.

Breast cancer is the second biggest cause of death from cancer for women in the UK, with just under 12,000 dying each year from the disease.
