Pharmacists best placed
July 28, 2011
PHARMACISTS are ideally
placed to help men take action
on bowel cancer, according to
Bowel Cancer Australia.
The comments come in the
lead up to Blue September
month, which aims to increase
awareness of cancers affecting
men, in particular bowel cancer.
“Our key message is to get
screened and the easiest way
for most men to do that is
through pharmacy with
BowelScreen Australia,” said
Julien Wiggins, CEO, Bowel
Cancer Australia.
A recent analysis of the AIHW
Cancer Database showed rates
of bowel cancer increasing
faster in men than in women.
To support Blue September,
Quilton is releasing a pharmacy
only, toilet paper, of which $2
fom every sale will be donated
to the charity.
