A statement from Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Gibraltar follows below:

 

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Gibraltar is delighted to announce a generous £5,000 donation from Gibraltar-based Gaming brand, Pragmatic Play, as part of a new corporate social responsibility partnership.

 

This contribution will fund the development of a 'Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Toolkit' for GHA's Primary Care in Gibraltar.

 

The new toolkit will support earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and help improve survival rates in Gibraltar. It is being designed and developed by the NHS Sussex & Surrey Cancer Alliance (SSCA) specifically for Gibraltar's Primary Care system, in collaboration with the GHA's clinical informatics team and guided by clinicians from both the GHA and NHS SSCA.

 

The concept for the toolkit was first explored by the charity during an earlier visit to Gibraltar by NHS SSCA in May this year.

 

Founder of the charity, Louis Baldachino, said: "The toolkit is an important tool that will greatly assist GPs in the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer takes nearly ten lives from our community each year, and the charity is determined to improve the current average survival rate in Gibraltar of only 10 months.

 

"Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Gibraltar extends its sincere thanks to Pragmatic Play for this important contribution, which will help the charity continue its mission to raise awareness, improve early diagnosis, and increase survival rates in Gibraltar."

 

Julian Jarvis, Co-founder and CEO of Pragmatic Play, said: "We are very proud to support and contribute to this fantastic cause. This toolkit is an invaluable piece of kit that will make a real difference to the wellbeing and lives of people in Gibraltar."

 

 

 

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Gibraltar Charitable Trust was founded in February 2018 with its prime aim and focus in raising awareness of pancreatic cancer to the general public and medical professionals to improve early diagnosis and survival rates in Gibraltar. The charity works with the GHA and Public Health Gibraltar towards ensuring healthcare professionals have the awareness and tools they need to improve early diagnosis of the fastest killing cancer of all common cancers. Organising numerous awareness events and activities, involving the community at large, is a key part of the charity's ongoing awareness campaigns in their efforts to improve the awareness of the community of the symptoms and risks of pancreatic cancer.
