Our Story

Barrett’s is a condition that isn’t going away

We are dedicated to fighting Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal cancer by maintaining the Barrett’s Oesophagus registry (UKBOR), funding research and providing patient support. Early diagnosis and public awareness of Barrett’s Oesophagus and oesophageal cancer will help stem the steady increase of deaths in the UK.

We are volunteer doctors, scientists, patients who all recognise that treatment of the main known cause of oesophageal cancer is the best way to deal with the cancer itself.

We have been committed to the developments in understanding this conditions and the advancements in the eradication of Barrett’s oesophagus

MISSION

To support patients with, and research into, Barrett’s oesophagus and to reduce the incidence of Barrett’s oesophagus and thereby the risk of oesophageal cancer.

VISION

To collaborate and work together to generate support and funding for research into this condition.

Our Core Aims

The Barrett’s campaign has four core values that are more than just buzzwords. They’re at the centre how we work at the charity

The Barrett’s registry

Secure the long-term future of the Barrett’s registry (UKBOR) and its research activities.

Supportive

We want to provide a support and education service for patients and relatives with Barrett’s oesophagus and associated adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastric cardia

Determined

Medicine continues to evolve and technologies continue to improve. Great strides have been made in the treatment of Barrett’s and related cancer and we want to be a part of pushing that further. Make research awards and project grants, if funds are available, for research in the field of Barrett’s oesophagus in the UK.

Educational

Part of our remit is to educate people on Barrett’s oesophagus, the risks associated with it , and the treatment of heartburn in general and teach that prevention is better than cure. By raising awareness of the condition we will encourage early detection
