Be well this winter

Winter can be tough on our health, but there’s plenty of support available in Bromley to help you and your family stay well. Whether you’re feeling unwell or just want to be prepared, knowing where to go for help can save you time and ensure you get the right care.

Urgent and emergency services are for life threatening and serious injuries. If you attend an urgent treatment centre with a minor or ongoing condition that can be dealt with by your GP, pharmacist or other community service, you may be redirected back to those services for your care. This is so urgent and emergency staff can focus on treating those with more serious conditions.

Cancer screening saves lives

One in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime.  Please always attend your cancer screening appointments.  Cancer screening can help diagnose cancer or risk of developing cancer early. This in turn helps increase the chances of successful treatment.  Cervical screening can even prevent cancer from developing.  If you do have symptoms, don’t wait for a screening invitation – tell your doctor as soon as possible.
