VBMET has worked with the University of Manchester on a pilot project REACT (Risk Estimation of Additional Cancer Testing) for better health. Led by a team in Manchester University is to develop and test a pharmacist & community-delivered cancer symptom risk assessment tool.

The aim is to raise awareness and promote early diagnosis of cancer. To help communities gather a better idea of their risk to cancer, with information to help improve lifestyles in order to reduce risk. The project is part of Manchester’s cancer plan and approved by the GM Cancer Board. VBMET have been able to contribute again to a preventative programme that improves the health agenda across Trafford.
