Our Sixth Form girls were provided with an insightful presentation today by Dr Ferris and her Clinical Team at ‘befriend your boobs’ to discuss the various risk factors for developing breast cancer in later life. They discussed the results of health research which has shown which lifestyles can limit the risk and also the importance of breast awareness and self-examination. They also discussed how certain ethnic groups are particularly vulnerable for example Ashkenazi Jewish people, as well as the importance of understanding BRCA genes and their own family histories. A big thank you to them for coming in, our sixth formers found it really informative.
