Introduction The West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project (WoSCAP) was a
partnership between the five west of Scotland NHS Boards (Argyll and Clyde, Ayrshire and Arran, Forth Valley, Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire)
They were awarded £1.3 million over three years by the Big Lottery Fund in 2002.
£240,000 of the grant was used to develop a public awareness campaign on the early detection of bowel cancer
£94,000 of the grant was used for research and evaluation
The project won 9 awards in total for healthcare communications, social marketing, advertising and design (3 for the bowel campaign)

Aim of the bowel cancer project
To encourage those ‘at risk’ of bowel
cancer to present earlier to the NHS with
signs and symptoms of the disease
![Page 7: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Target group
Men and women living in the most
deprived areas within the west of Scotland
aged 50+ with signs and symptoms of
colorectal cancer
![Page 8: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our Starting Point
At baseline, (922 interviews) 46% awareness of bowel cancer Almost 50% would put up with symptoms as long as possible Symptoms such us unusual bleeding or long term constipation often
rationalised as ‘just one of these things you put up with’ Late presentation often due to lack of awareness, embarrassment,
invasive tests but fear of a diagnosis of cancer is key Epidemiology of disease – 3500 new cases every year in Scotland.
If detected early, 80% chance of cure Impact on services – fear from professionals about services being
swamped by large numbers of ‘worried well’ Service providers initially against plans due to potential impact on
secondary care which could affect diagnosis and treatment times Value for money- had the opportunity to reach target group
effectively
![Page 9: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Professional Views - bowel
“A campaign of this nature is ethically
unacceptable”
“This campaign will swamp services with
the „worried well‟
“Who are you and what evidence do you
have to support the chances of a
campaign of this nature being successful”?
![Page 10: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Challenge – health professionals
To overcome resistance and negative attitudes from health professionals
To develop communication strategy to reach 4500 internal stakeholders
To support services to deliver when campaign was ‘live’
To turn sceptics into active participants by involving them in the process and decision making
![Page 11: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Insight from public research
Reasonable levels of awareness of disease, poor awareness of signs and symptoms
Low awareness of incidence levels Lack of awareness that disease can be
effectively treated if detected early Issues about embarrassment and stigma to
present but major issue is fear of diagnosis of cancer
Focus on ‘risk’ factors in communications may alienate target audience
![Page 12: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What People said - Bowel
A man’s more likely to sit there for months and say to himself,
it’ll go away
My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she
just had piles
Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have
symptoms for quite a while. You’d find any
excuse for it – say it was the bevy last night, or you had a dodgy meal.

The strategy
Targeting a ‘hard to reach’ audience who can easily be ‘turned off’ by health prevention messages
Focus on ‘early detection’ not prevention
Promote early presentation of bowel cancer which will lead to improved outcomes and quality of life
Campaign messages had to focus on informing target group of ‘new’ information about their health in a relevant, non threatening and non patronising approach
Television was the perfect medium to reach the audience as traditionally they watch 4-5 hours television most days.
![Page 17: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The strategy
Needed key baseline evidence from which to develop objectives
Baseline study was commissioned to understand target group’s knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of bowel cancer – also had a control area
From baseline studies, developed clear objectives for advertising, research and evaluation and impact on services
Conducted needs assessment with primary and secondary care teams to assess training needs
![Page 18: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The strategy
Engagement with key professional stakeholders via comprehensive communication strategy and involving champions in decision making and local implementation teams
Finding common ground and a ‘win win’ situation with health professionals. What could we do to facilitate delivery of the service?
Development and delivery of a training programme for health professionals
Recruiting the right team with appropriate skills mix and confidence to deal with senior clinicians, primary care teams and cancer leads
![Page 19: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Strategy
Developed high profile media campaign
Communication messages and approach based on results from research
High profile initiatives including ministerial launch
Regular proactive stories in the media
Local initiatives including working with charities, voluntary organisations, events, photographic exhibition
![Page 20: West of Scotland Cancer Awareness Project Bowel Cancer ...nre/@… · My friend died of bowel cancer. She always thought she just had piles Apart from bleeding, you’d have to have](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050408/5f84d64c882b7625754f2bf8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pre-testing – Bowel Campaign
5 concepts pre-tested in 6 focus groups
‘niggling worries’ addressed real barriers to action – inertia and fear
Proved compelling and intriguing due to dialogue with man confronting his fears
It had a direct call to action – ‘go to your doctor if your bowel habits change or you have blood in your motions’
It was felt to be an empathetic way of tackling the fear that surrounds the subject area

Views after campaign - bowel
“Fortunately, WoSCAP was a lot more than increasing public awareness. In preparation for the campaign, many meetings were organised to increase knowledge, awareness and readiness of clinical services in the region. As well as being educational, these meetings strengthened local team working and communication. The project also provided financial support for local initiatives to streamline diagnostic services and reduce waiting times.
This may be the lasting legacy of the campaign and I now think my initial concerns were unfounded and WoSCAP has made a positive contribution to bowel cancer services in the West of Scotland”.
Bob Diament – Lead clinician for colorectal services in the West of Scotland and chair of the MCN.

Lessons learned
Need time to plan – clear vision
Need support of professionals and involve them at an early stage
Ensure interventions are research driven, not expert led
If you want to raise a high profile, use television as the key medium
