The resources available for treating colorectal cancer in the West Country are outstanding.
Bowel Cancer West is in regular contact with GPs, supplying them with information and training in some of the more specialised techniques required in the treatment regime. Bowel Cancer West is also a provider of training to medical professionals, doctors, nurses and other researchers.
Training is a vitally important factor to increase the survivability rates of bowel cancer, and the work can be as simple as briefing professionals on updates surrounding specialist topics.
Training grants

Our Ambition
Bowel Cancer West aims to support a local initiative to build a state-of-the-art, world-leading Institute for Medical Research and surgical skills training in the South West. This will include educational facilities such as lecture theatres, seminar rooms, skills training rooms and a surgery training room. It will have cutting-edge audiovisual facilities and high-speed digital links. It will ultimately house a research facility and will be where doctors, nurses and allied health professionals will be able to focus on the condition.
