Richard Galloway, from Wirral, is alerting men to watch for lumps in their chest this Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week (17th – 23rd October 2026).

After undergoing a masectomy and surviving breast cancer, Richard now dedicates his time to turning his experience into action - raising awareness of male breast cancer and providing support for men who have been diagnosed.

"Open conversations are vital. Male breast cancer can still feel taboo, particularly because of its impact on body image, but he wants men to know there is nothing to be embarrassed about and that support is available."

His advice is simple: if something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it.

"Check your chest, be aware of any changes and speak to your GP. People respond to a diagnosis in different ways, but nobody has to face it alone. Let’s talk about it and not brush it under the carpet. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Men get breast cancer too."

A world first at Clatterbridge 🌍

Our Wirral site is trialling the innovative Omni1 Respiratory Coach, a devise designed to allow patients the opportunity practise holding their breath before scanning and radiotherapy treatment.

We’re the first hospital in the world to trial it.

Lots of patients are required to hold their breath during radiotherapy treatment. This helps to lift vital organs away from the treatment area and reduce their exposure to radiation.

The Omni1 device is designed to help patients feel more confident and prepared for treatment.

We’re trialling the Omni1 for the next few months and it has been funded thanks to .

Today is , and we're celebrating our incredible team for everything they do!

From dispensing medication, to keeping our pharmacies supplied and stocked, (and apparently being amazing cake makers!), our pharmacy technicians are vital in ensuring our patients receive the medicines they need.

Their commitment to delivering the highest quality treatments ensures the best possible care for all of our patients 💚

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and other leading NHS organisations in Liverpool have announced their shared intent to develop a clinical and academic collaboration with the Indian healthcare organisation (KIMS Hospitals) and the British Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS), aimed at fostering long-term research, medical education, and healthcare innovation between India and the United Kingdom.

The collaboration brings together KIMS and BIMS with The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, Alder Hey and The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust and Charity.

This partnership intends to establish a dynamic platform for the organisations to develop programmes for research, medical training and clinical exchanges. This platform will also enable Indian doctors to gain valuable experience within the UK healthcare system and for UK doctors to undertake clinical fellowships across the KIMS Hospitals network in India, with BIMS supporting the coordination of these opportunities.

This announcement reflects the shared vision and intent of the organisations. The formal framework will be governed by the MoU signed between the Parties and other standard institutional agreements.

Joan Spencer, Chief Executive of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, said: "This partnership brings together outstanding clinical expertise and academic ambition across Liverpool and Hyderabad.

"The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre’s mission is to transform the lives of people with cancer, and we see great potential for clinical and academic collaboration that will accelerate improvements in cancer care that will enable patients in both countries to benefit from the latest advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment."

If you are visiting our inpatient wards, you will notice that staff are wearing masks. This is to help protect our patients, visitors and colleagues from flu and other winter bugs which are now rising across Cheshire and Merseyside.

If you have any questions about this, just ask a member of hospital staff.

Masks are also available for patients and visitors if you want them. If you are spending time in the shared social space on our inpatient wards, we would ask you to wear a mask for the protection of other patients.

Respiratory infections that may be mild for otherwise healthy people can be very serious for our patients, which is why we are taking these extra precautions.

Today is , and we were lucky enough to have Wirral Menopause Community CIC visit our CCC-L and CCC-W sites this week to raise awareness, share information, and encourage open conversations about menopause in the workplace.

Menopause can affect many aspects of daily life, including physical health, emotional wellbeing, confidence, and work. By increasing understanding and providing access to support, we can help create a more inclusive workplace where colleagues feel comfortable talking about their experiences and accessing the support they need.

Staff were invited to visit our information stands, attend a Let's Talk Menopause presentation, and join us for an informal drop-in café where they could chat, ask questions, and connect with others in a welcoming environment.
