Behind the emergency: panel discussion on bowel cancer diagnoses in A&E and report launch
Healthcare professional insights into understanding and reducing emergency bowel cancer diagnoses
Join us for on Wednesday 8 July 2026 at 12-1pm for an online panel discussion exploring our clinician insight report on emergency bowel cancer diagnosis, which builds on our report in to patient experiences. The report will be launched on the day of the webinar.
About one in four people with bowel cancer are diagnosed in an emergency, often in A&E. It’s shocking, devastating and usually means the cancer is more advanced – making treatment harder and survival chances lower. And it doesn’t have to be this way. We're working with healthcare professionals, patients, researchers and the wider cancer sector to better understand why this happens and what to do about it.
In this event, we'll be bringing together healthcare professionals, our policy lead and a patient representative to launch the report and discuss why emergency diagnoses are still happening, what clinicians are seeing and what needs to change.
We'll also hold a live questions and answer session at this event, giving you an opportunity to put your questions to the panel.
