Cancer Toolkit

The pandemic has seen a significant delay in people contacting their GP practices with signs and symptoms suggestive of cancer, and in responding to cancer screening invitations or appointments in south west London possibly due to patient concerns around attending and safety.

Everyone should also speak to their GP practice if they have symptoms and are concerned about attending in person, and also respond to their cancer screening invitation when received.

The below toolkit contains a variety of assets, as part of the communications mix. We would appreciate your support in sharing this far and wide.

If you need any further data or information, please get in touch with our team at pressoffice@swlondon.nhs.uk or call 020 3458 5379
