The Pink Caravan is coming to Christchurch!

Talia from Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Canterbury

The last dates have been booked for our South Island Tour!

Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options. The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most haven’t seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you so pop in and say hi. We’ll be at the locations below on the following dates:
