Spot the signs. Don't put it off.

Local GPs across our community are encouraging residents in Hartcliffe and Withywood to:

• Attend routine screening appointments
• Get symptoms checked early
• Trust your instincts if something doesn't feel right

Many people worry about wasting their GP's time. Please don't.

Your GP wants to see you and would much rather talk to you early than later.

Looking after your health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family.
