Pancreatic Cancer Action

Who we are

Pancreatic Cancer Action was founded in 2010 by a rare survivor of the disease. We are a small, creative and passionate team committed to improving early diagnosis and saving lives.

Pancreatic cancer has only a 7% survival rate and this figure has not improved significantly for over 50 years. Despite it being the 5th biggest cancer killer in the UK, pancreatic cancer receives only 3% of overall research funding.

With a strong focus on early diagnosis, Pancreatic Cancer Action aims to improve survival rates through raising awareness, medical education, improved patient information and by funding research specifically into the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Simply put, we want more people diagnosed in time for surgery, currently the only potential for a cure.

Our culture and values

Our team is a small but mighty one, full of passionate individuals motivated by the need to improve the chances of survival for people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and inclusive workplace where individuals are valued, and collaboration is embraced.
