It's important to check your breasts regularly so you know what's normal for you. This makes it easier to notice any changes in the size, look or feel of your breasts.

Are you 50+ and would like to make a Difference in Your Community?

Why not volunteer as a RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme) Driver:

Many older patients face difficulties in getting to their health appointments. As a volunteer driver, you can help ensure they make it to their appointments safely and on time. This role involves picking up patients from their homes, driving them to the surgery, and taking them back home afterward. It is a vital service that helps maintain the continuity of care for these individuals.

If you are interested in volunteering, please speak to our reception care navigation team.
