Held by Wolverhampton Council and the NHS in the Black Country, people will have the opportunity to learn about the signs and symptoms of cancer, screening programs, treatment and lifestyle choices.
The sessions take place on Thursdays throughout summer from 9.30am to 1.30pm on June 26, July 17 and 31, August 14 and 28 and September 11, and will give information on how to check for symptoms and what to do if they have concerns.
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, the council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: “These drop-in sessions are part of a regular series of events designed to raise awareness around cancer,
“And I would encourage anyone who has any questions about the signs and symptoms of cancer, screening, diagnosis and treatment to come along to speak to our friendly staff.
“Reducing harm from cancer through education and awareness, and promoting the uptake of cancer screening, are key public health priorities for us,
“And we continue to work with our NHS colleagues to take this important work forward.”
There will also be information about the three main NHS screening programmes, for breast, bowel and cervical cancer, including when people will be invited and what’s involved in the screening.
