Williams Medical, one of the UK's leading medical suppliers to primary care, today announces a new long-term partnership with The Eve Appeal, the UK's leading gynaecological cancer charity, to help raise awareness of women's health and support life-saving work in the prevention and early diagnosis of gynaecological cancers.
Launching during Cervical Screening Awareness Week, the partnership reflects Williams Medical's ongoing commitment to supporting healthcare professionals delivering essential women's health services across the UK and builds on the company's long-standing support for cervical cancer charities, to which it has donated more than £100,000 over the years.
As part of the new partnership, Williams Medical will donate 5p from every box of PELIspec® speculums sold, creating an ongoing fundraising stream to support The Eve Appeal's work in raising awareness of the five gynaecological cancers, improving knowledge of symptoms, providing trusted information and support services, and funding pioneering research.
PELIspec® is a premium, single-use vaginal speculum designed to support healthcare professionals carrying out cervical screening procedures. Cervical screening remains one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer, yet uptake rates continue to vary across the country. Through this partnership, Williams Medical and The Eve Appeal hope to encourage greater awareness of the importance of screening while helping to fund initiatives that empower women with the information and confidence to prioritise their gynaecological health.
