Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we are determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with over 16,000 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. We're determined to change that. Your fundraising will help us fund Scotland's first Research Chair focused on colorectal cancer surgery. This post will ensure that bowel cancer patients have access to surgical clinical trials, receive the best possible surgical treatment and can benefit from improved surgical outcomes over the long term.

This appointment forms a key part of our aim to provide solutions that directly lead to a reduction in the number of deaths from the disease and drive improvements in quality of life where a cure is not possible.
