Health checks and screenings

Together with the local NHS we offer free advice and health checks to residents aged over 18 across Southwark. Checks are held in the community to try and reach more people in a location and time that’s convenient to them. 

Come to a Southwark Hub for Health or a roadshow and you can:

• speak to health professionals about your wellbeing
• get your blood pressure and weight checked
• get advice on stopping smoking and help with alcohol, and support for your mental wellbeing
• find out about preventing, and managing long-term conditions such as diabetes
• get advice on local screening for breast, bowel, cervical, lung and prostate cancer
• find out about local services that can help you, including leisure centres

Southwark Hubs for Health

You can get a health check and advice at one of these community hubs.
