Irish Cancer Society Health Roadshow coming to Swords Pavilions Shopping Centre

Next week, the Irish Cancer Society’s ‘Your Health Matters’ Roadshow will be in the Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords from 10am to 5pm on Wednesday March 25th and Thursday March 26th, free of charge.

Members of the public are invited to come along for free to speak with our specialist cancer nurses to ask ny questions they may have and seek support and advice.

Pop down and have a chat with one of our nurses – no booking is required, just walk in.

Available at the Roadshow are free blood pressure checks, body mass index (BMI) and carbon monoxide (CO) readings and information on cancer prevention, screening, and ways to help spot the early signs of cancer.

A referral for a GP can also be arranged where further help is required.

Early detection and diagnosis of cancer is essential to improve health outcomes.

When cancer is diagnosed early, it can improve the quality of life of those living with cancer, increase survival and reduce the severity of treatment.

Many patients find it difficult to or do not attend GP visits even when they are experiencing potential cancer symptoms.

The ‘Your Health Matters’ Roadshow initiative seeks to change this by promoting positive lifestyle changes, increasing awareness of cancer symptoms, and improving medical care-seeking behaviour for the early signs of cancer.

In 2025, the roadshow travelled to 20 different locations around the country, engaging with over 29,900 people about the signs and symptoms of cancer.
