NHS App Benefits: Resources for Practices
|
|
To help promote the NHS App, we’ve created diagrams showcasing its benefits for both patients and staff. These visual resources highlight how the app supports better access to healthcare and improves practice workflows.
Practice staff are encouraged to use these diagrams in two ways:
- Add them to your practice website to inform patients about the app’s advantages.
- Print and display them within your practice to raise awareness among visitors and staff.
The diagrams are available for download here:

Brain Tumour Awareness Month 
- More than 12,000 people (including approximately 500 children & young people) are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour each year.
- Brain tumours are the biggest cause of cancer related death of children and adults under 40. (Statistics about brain tumours.)
- This free GatewayC Brain Tumour module aims to assist primary care staff in effectively assessing and managing patients with a potential brain tumour diagnosis.
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 52,000 men diagnosed every year.
- 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. For Black men, the risk is greater and 1 in 4 will be diagnosed with it.
- South East London Cancer Alliance (SELCA) encourages GPs in Primary Care within SE London to undertake opportunistic PSA testing on patients with a prostate who are most at risk: those with a family history of prostate cancer aged over 45; and/or black men aged over 45.
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 
- Each year 7,400 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK.
- We need to abolish the myth that ovarian cancer is ‘a silent killer’. There are symptoms; but they are commonly mistaken for something else, like aging or irritable bowel syndrome.
- If caught at the earliest stage, 9 out of 10 women will survive.
- The proportion of women diagnosed at an early stage varies from 22% to 63% across England. This variation is unacceptable and must change!
To improve your knowledge of signs & symptoms and support you in the early detection of these cancers please see Educational resources for GPs; GatewayC - Ovarian Cancer; Macmillan primary care tips or listen to 'GPs Talk Cancer' podcast - Ovarian Cancer

Face masks when using NHS services
All patients and visitors to NHS services must wear a face covering at all times. This includes hospitals, community clinics and GP services. Evidence has confirmed that face coverings can help reduce the risk of transmission if you are suffering from coronavirus, but not showing symptoms.
The government has set out advice for people on how to make their own face coverings easily at home, using scarves or other textile items. These face coverings should cover the mouth and nose, whilst allowing the wearer to breathe comfortably and can be as simple as a scarf or bandanna that ties behind the head to give a snug fit.
Please wash your hands or use hand sanitiser before putting on a face covering and after taking it off. Please avoid touching your face covering whilst wearing it to avoid transmission of the virus.
If you attend an appointment without a face covering, you will be provided with a face mask in an emergency.
Black Lives Matter
Statement from Lambeth Clinical Cabinet and GP Clinical Commissioners about Black Lives Matter
The death of George Floyd and the worldwide response to his killing have served as a reminder of the deep inequalities that remain in our society
We, the Lambeth Clinical Cabinet of GPs along with the GP Commissioning leads acknowledge the disproportionate impact of these inequalities on people of Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
We also acknowledge the negative health and social impact that Covid-19 has had on BAME communities both directly and also in highlighting further the existing inequalities in our society.
In Lambeth, general practice is provided by a diverse workforce of whom we are justifiably proud. We have risen to the challenge of the pandemic and have been agile and swift in our responses. This has ensured that general practice has remained open all the way through the lockdown.
We aspire to look after our staff well. We will ensure that we fully assess the risks to our staff and take all necessary steps to minimise those risks. We also aspire to look after the wellbeing of all our staff.
General practice is for everyone. We are here to advocate for the health of our patients. We will ensure that we increase our efforts to tackle the health inequalities suffered by BAME communities but also others that are disadvantaged in our society today.
We pledge that we will work collaboratively with our partner organisations in health and social care to improve the health and wellbeing of patients registered with practices in Lambeth
