Appointments will be considerably longer than a standard GP appointment slot to enable the time needed to work with you with the goal of keeping the patient safe and healthy. During a health check patients may be signposted to other primary care or community resources to support your health and wellbeing. Looking after your physical health can help you maintain good mental health. How can I access it? These can be booked through contacting your GP.

Cancer Awareness in Barnet In May, a new local campaign was launched in Barnet to encourage individuals who have symptoms that may be suggestive of cancer to contact their GP practice. Delivered by the North Central London Cancer Alliance in collaboration with the NCL Clinical Commissioning Group and council Public Health team, the campaign will also aim to increase the number of people taking part in screening when invited. If you have any of the following symptoms: · Unexpected bleeding, like blood in your poo, pee or spit · Unexplained lump · Unexplained pain that lasts three weeks or more · Persistent cough that lasts three weeks or more · Unexplained weight loss You should contact your GP practice to arrange a check. It may be nothing serious – in fact, more than 9 out of 10 people are not diagnosed with cancer. However, finding cancer early makes it more treatable. That’s why it’s also important to take part in routine cancer screening when invited. The way you make an appointment may have changed, but your GP practice is open for check-ups and screenings and healthcare professionals are available to see you safely. www.smallc.org.uk Community Barnet was delighted to host a very successful cancer awareness event with Barnet Mencap on Wednesday 21st July. We had more than 30 people attend, including: Rory Cooper- Health and Social Care Senior Manager, CommUNITY Barnet (Chair) Carole Dukes- Lead Engagement Coordinator, Barnet Mencap Beth Dahill- Transformation Lead, North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group Sue Blain- Barnet resident, Chair of Primary Care Group and patient representative Invited to speak were: Dr Zareena Cuddis - Macmillan GP for BARNET and GP at Cornwall House Surgery, Finchley Ray Booth - Barnet Mencap, Chief Executive Some of the topics we looked at: What to look out for and what to do next The importance of cancer screening Cancer screening for people with learning disabilities Addressing concerns about accessing our GP You can access the presentation with all accompanying material here Cancer Awareness event Community Barnet and Barnet Mencap are hosting a public engagement event focusing on Cancer Awareness on Wednesday 21st July at 2.30pm for 80- 90 minutes.

Targeted Lung Health Check Programme What is the Targeted Lung Health Check Programme? Working with Claremont, CB Plus are raising awareness of a new NHS programme that could improve the lung health of people in the local community. Targeted Lung Health Checks (TLHCs) can help diagnose lung cancer at an early stage when the chances of having successful treatment is higher. Who is eligible for this service? People aged between 55 and 74 years old who smoke or used to smoke and live in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey or Islington are being invited to attend a lung health check. How do I arrange an appointment? If eligible, you will be sent an appointment letter to have an assessment of your lung health over the phone and may then be invited to attend a further assessment with a nurse and possibly have a CT scan. The lung health checks are free, quick and painless and can help diagnose lung cancer at an early stage, when the chances of having a successful treatment are higher. Join local people who have already had their lung health check. Look out for your lung health check invitation today!

Acerca de NHS Blood Donation Community Project Did you know that only 1% of the Black population in the UK are blood donors? Are you from the Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, Islington, Hackney & Waltham Forest area and looking to find out more about donating blood? Did you also know that the NHS is running critically low on blood donation from Black donors? Due to pressures from COVID-19 figures show that approximately 16,000 more blood donors are needed to meet the demand for those suffering from Sickle Cell Disease that requires life-saving transfusion. We at Community Barnet have partnered with the NHS to engage with Black communities in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, Islington, Hackney & Waltham Forest to raise awareness of the importance of blood donation. We hosted an interactive online coffee and chat where we spoke about the importance of blood donation as well as: · What blood donation is and isn’t · What is your blood type and how do you find this out · Speaking with someone with personal experience with blood donation & sickle cell You can view highlights from the event here . We are planning to host more spaces for discussion in the autumn, details of which will be posted here and on our social media. Please find more information on the project here: For further information contact Veronica: Veronica.Awuzudike@communitybarnet.org.uk
