An NHS campaign launched this week encouraging local residents to act on symptoms that may be a sign of cancer.
The North Central London Cancer Alliance (NCLCA), covering Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington, is urging people to “act early” so they can get screening and treatment – if required – as quickly as possible.
Figures from the Centre for Cancer Outcomes estimate 950 “missing” diagnoses across the five boroughs between April 2020 to January 2021, compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Highgate resident Sam Jukes-Adams is a case in point. She received her cervical screening invitation letter last May but initially ignored it for fear of taking up the NHS’ time, and her worries over going to the GP at the height of the pandemic.
