Translated information

We have produced some easy to understand postcards listing the most common symptoms of bowel and lung cancer in four local languages other than English.


The information is in Urdu, Hindi, Nepali and Polish. The postcards are designed to make it easy for people to identify key symptoms – tick a box if they have any of them and then take the postcard to their GP to get further advice and treatment if necessary.

An English translation is included so practice staff and GPs can understand what symptoms the patient is identifying.

You can see examples of the postcards as PDF files below and we are happy to share print-ready artwork should you want to reproduce the postcards for your own use with similar communities in your area.
