Project Overview Our project aims to use a range of different approaches to tackling Health <strong>Inequalities</strong> in head and neck cancer across Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen to contribute to the Core20Plus5 target of 75% of cancer cases diagnosed at stage 1 or 2 by 2028. EDUCATION The burden of Head & Neck Cancer (HNC) is strongly socioeconomically patterned, with the highest rates being observed among people living in the most socioeconomically deprived communities, such as Blackpool. To address the lack of knowledge around the signs and symptoms and influential risks of HNC we aim to educate young people using sport and physical activity as a vehicle to engage with the intended audience. Initially we will do some consultation with young people to ensure that our plans, educational and marketing material will be suitable to have the highest level of impact. We hope that by educating young people, they will have the lifelong knowledge to recognise the signs and symptoms and educate and support their families and peers in the future. BAME 1 COMMUNITIES The overall incidence of HNC continues to rise, with a predicted 30% increase annually by 2030. Ethnically diverse communities have a particularly high incidence of oral cancer, associated with chewing of areca nut (betel quid), with or without tobacco. With 35.7% of the population of Blackburn with Darwen from an Asian ethnic group, it gives us a great opportunity to work within the heart of the community to do some targeted work to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms, educate about potential cultural risks and carry out oral screenings. PREHAB & REHAB Racial Health <strong>Inequalities</strong> The evidence is growing to support the role of physical activity during and after cancer treatment. Keeping active throughout the cancer journey can preserve or improve physical function and psychological well-being, reducing the negative impact of some cancer related side-effects. Regular physical activity also has a potential role in reducing risk of cancer recurrence and increasing survival. Active Blackpool aim to use this pilot as an opportunity to introduce prehab and rehab for cancer into their Exercise Referral pathway by raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity on a patient cancer journey, providing information leaflets and home based equipment and deliver online and in person classes with a specialised L4 Cancer Rehabilitation instructor.
