This amazing display was put together by our consultant @rho37231
And our CNS team Nicola and @poynton98794 made the cute bags!
We have such a dedicated team here on ward 56. Raising awareness is a big passion in the ward 💜

If you take anything away from #WorldGoDay2024, let it be this:Speak up if you experience changes, new or concerning symptoms, or if you're unsure. There's no room for stigma and shame-your voice matters, and your health comes first 💜

Why is World Gynecologic Oncology Day needed? 🤔
Because of where they are located in the body, gyn cancers are often under-discussed. This is often especially true for cancers caused by the HPV virus: cervical, vulvar & vaginal cancer.
#WorldGODay2024
Don’t let embarrassment stop you from getting a smear. Early detection of cervical cancer leads to better outcomes.
Remember: Smears only check for cervical cancer-make sure to get all symptoms checked #weareallsmearready #worldgoday2024
@rho37231 @nikkiwinning @WorldGOday
Don’t stay quiet, if it doesn’t look or feel right - seek help!
Why is World Gynecologic Oncology Day needed? 🤔
Gynecologic cancers are under-discussed. Shame stemming from societal stigma can be an invisible barrier that keeps people from recognizing cancer symptoms or delays their first visit to a doctor to be screened.
#WorldGODay2024
#WorldGoDay2024! 🌸
Lets break the silence around gynecological health. Talking openly can reduce stigma, empower women, and encourage early diagnosis. If something feels wrong, don’t wait- reach out. Early action saves lives! #WomensHealth

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) causes two-thirds of the cases of #VaginalCancer. Vaccines that protect against infection with HPV may reduce the risk of vaginal cancer. igcs.org/vaginal/
September is #GynecologicCancerAwarenessMonth. #GCAM
As part of #gynaecologycancerawarenessmonth remember vaginal and vulval cancer are different:
Let’s clarify important definitions…
Vulva: is the external part of female genitalia
Vagina: is the internal muscular canal
See GP when concerned!
@nikkiwinning @NHSGGC @rho37231
Did you know there were 5 types of gynaecological cancer?
Let’s brush up on the signs and symptoms.
As always know your normal and see GP with any changes.
