Mr Jonathan Noel, Consultant Urological Surgeon and Clinical Governance Lead, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust

Presentation one: 'Raising breast cancer awareness through community-based salon initiatives in South and West London'.

Mariam will discuss the innovative pilot work in this area working with hairdressers and beauty salons to promote cardiovascular health and raise breast cancer awareness in ethnically and socioeconomically diverse communities, supported through funding by the NIHR, and Royal Marsden Partners & Pan London Cancer Alliances.

Presentation two: 'A barber shop's annual Health Awareness Day. Reflections of Barber and Surgeon around prostate cancer and other health topics discussed'.

Jonathan will discuss the inspiring journey that Kevin de la Rosa, owner of Mane Culture Barber Shop in Neasden, has developed since 2017.
