AMMF is Shaping the Future for Cholangiocarcinoma in Westminster
On 25 February 2026, as part of Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Month, AMMF’s Rethink Liver Cancer campaign is returning to Westminster with a reception in the House of Commons’ Churchill Room.
With the UK Government set to announce the National Cancer Plan for England in early 2026, our theme is “Shaping the future: from early detection to improved survival”. We will reflect on recent advances, raise awareness of the growing problem of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), and highlight priorities for improving outcomes for people diagnosed with this primary liver cancer.
Sponsored by Mary Glindon, MP for Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend, AMMF’s 2026 event will bring together Members of Parliament, health service leaders, and experts across the field of cholangiocarcinoma. Our objective is to shape the future of cholangiocarcinoma care by highlighting innovative methods for earlier detection and addressing disparities in treatment and survival.
AMMF’s return to Westminster reaffirms our commitment to advocating for improved, equitable healthcare standards and to ensuring that this pressing issue receives the attention it deserves.

Dear [MP’s NAME],
As a member of your constituency, I’m writing to personally invite you to attend AMMF – The Cholangiocarcinoma Charity’s forthcoming “Rethink Liver Cancer” reception at the House of Commons.
Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) is a primary liver cancer that is often missed, misdiagnosed and managed too late, with early diagnosis, treatment and survival rates that are among the worst of any cancer.
I’ve seen first-hand how cholangiocarcinoma has deeply affected my family. [YOU MAY SAY HOW HERE]. This has only strengthened my commitment to raising awareness and supporting AMMF’s vital work in the hope of improving outcomes for others affected by this disease.
The reception for MPs and stakeholders will take place on Wednesday 25February 2026, from 14:00 to 16:30 in the Churchill Room at The House of Commons.
I would be grateful if you would attend the presentations to become more aware of the problems associated with the disease. Your presence at the event would demonstrate strong support for this cause, helping to drive greater awareness and advocacy.
Please let AMMF know if you plan on attending the event by emailing them at [email protected]
I would be grateful if you would also let me know if you plan on attending.
Yours sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS]
