Contact your MP to take action to tackle ovarian cancer

Ovacome is asking you to join us in raising the profile of ovarian cancer by contacting your MP ask them to help us to Ovacome it together. Ovacome has already written to MPs in England with local data and information on ovarian cancer but we know that we'll have a bigger impact if you are involved.

We are calling for a focus on:

Improving early diagnosis
Ensuring high quality ovarian cancer service standards
Ensuring access to the best treatment
Protecting the role of clinical nurse specialists

More detail on each of these areas can be found here.

Being an advocate for Ovacome

There are a number of ways in which you can help us to get your MP involved and raise the profile of ovarian cancer. Some MPs are already active in campaigning on ovarian cancer issues from a local and national perspective; others are unaware of the impact of the disease on patients, families and the NHS.
You can help by telling your MP about ovarian cancer and about how they can get involved. You could:

Request a meeting at your local MP's constituency surgery to speak to your MP face to face
Write a letter or email to your local MP talking about your personal experience of ovarian cancer and asking them to take action to improve ovarian cancer services
Invite your MP to your local meeting or event to give them the opportunity to hear from other Ovacome supporters

Ovacome can send you a constituency briefing that will provide you with a snapshot of the ovarian cancer services in your area which may be helpful in providing relevant local information to your MP when you contact them. If you would like to recieve a copy, please contact on 020 7299 6654 or email us on ovacome@ovacome.org.uk
