In 2023, the team at Rowan's Empowering Women Network will be undertaking various fundraising activities to raise vital funds for Prevent Breast Cancer's NBIA campaign.

Prevent Breast Cancer are addressing the serious workforce shortages within breast imaging. The challenges have led to delays in breast cancer diagnosis, closure of breast centres, and reduced recruitment to research studies. Together, the charities are launching a £3.5 million appeal for a new National Breast Imaging Academy, Build To Beat Breast Cancer.

The National Breast Imaging Academy (NBIA), which will be an extension of The Nightingale Centre and Prevent Breast Cancer Research Unit at Wythenshawe Hospital, will provide a solution to this problem. The National Breast Imaging Academy will offer excellent workforce training facilities, enable an extra 13,000 patients be seen each year and offer additional capacity for research into breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Prevent Breast Cancer are incredibly grateful to Louise Stephenson and the team at Rowan's Empowering Women Network for their incredible support.
