On Tuesday, we joined 26 women from the Abkara Women’s Group in Charlton for an interactive session on breast, cervical and bowel cancer screening 💬

Together with Dr Yasaman Noori (GP, Triveni PMS), Kirsty Nash (NHS South East London ICB) and Julia Smith (South East London Breast Screening Programme), we shared practical information, answered questions and heard directly from women about their experiences of accessing NHS services.

A powerful personal story from a woman with lived experience of cancer opened honest conversations about why screening matters.

📣 Run a community group in Greenwich? We’d like to hear from you.

Health advice only helps if you can put it into practice.

At Ageing Well workshops led by the Royal Borough of Greenwich's Public Health and Wellbeing Team, 89 older residents from Bengali, Nepalese and Indian community groups told us how they look after their health. They also told us about the barriers they face, including pain, cost, language and difficulty getting GP care.
