Cancer Society's 'health matters' roadshow for Cork dates

The Irish Cancer Society’s ‘Your Health Matters’ Roadshow will be in Wilton Shopping centre on Wednesday February 11 and Thursday February 12.

The roadshow will run from 9am-6pm each day and members of the public are invited to come along to seek support and advice free of charge.

Available at the roadshow will be free blood pressure checks, body mass index (BMI) and carbon monoxide (CO) readings.

There will also be information available on cancer prevention, screening and ways to help spot the early signs of cancer.

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

A spokesperson from the Irish Cancer Society said: “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 behavior 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.
