1st – 30th November Lung Cancer Awareness Month
1st – 30th November Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Lung cancer is the UK’s biggest cancer killer, claiming the lives of more than 33,500 people in the UK every year – more than leukaemia, breast and prostate cancer combined – yet it receives a mere 3% of all money spent on cancer research in this country.
The British Lung Foundation believes it is vital that this balance is redressed in order that people with lung cancer receive the best possible treatment and care available.

Services of remembrance for bereaved parents
Services of remembrance for bereaved parents
There will be two services of remembrance taking place in the Chapel of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) on Sunday 6th November for anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby at any stage of pregnancy or in early life. For those who wish to come in the afternoon, there will be activities for children and their parents in the chapel from 3pm. The theme this year is “bubbles” so there will be an opportunity to blow bubbles and decorate a transparent circle with drawings and baby’s name.
The first service will be held at 4.00pm in the Benjamin Gooch Lecture Theatre at the NNUH and is designed for families and suitable for parents to bring young children. There will also be an evening service at 6.00pm in the Chapel which is aimed at adults to engage in a quieter, more reflective service.
