NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Patient Video

News - 23 February 2023

This screening video has been developed to support patients in South East London to complete their bowel screening FIT kit.

 

Patients in their 50's (at the moment over 56) will receive a bowel screening kit to complete, the test is painless and is looking for blood in poo (which is normally invisible to the naked eye). If you are over 56 and would like to learn more about screening, or, received your kit and not sure what to do, then please watch this video!

Please note, the video will also be available in the top 20 languages spoken in SEL, as well as BSL.

Q4 Patient Experience Report

Each quarter, we publish the experiences of patients that we have gathered. This helps us to see trends in care compared to previous months.

We have seen an increase in the percentage of people sharing positive feedback about GPs in the Borough and, in a similar trend, the feedback on hospital services is more positive at the end of the year than the start of the year.
The experience of Dental services is also more positive at the end of the year, albeit dropping slightly from a high in Q3.

Positive experiences of pharmacy services have increased significantly, by 20% over the course of the year, experiencing quarter upon quarter improvement and, although lower in number, Optician service feedback has increased to 80% positive feedback.
