Celebrities take part in the ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign

Dame Emma Thompson, Gordon Ramsay and Nadiya Hussain are a handful of the celebrities who are taking part in NHS England, Public Health England and NHS Improvement’s ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign – which aims to encourage people who are concerned about their health to book a consultation with their doctor.

A critical message is that people can be treated and seen safely by the NHS, whether they are a pregnant woman needing check-ups, or have mental health issues, or are worried about cancer, as well as keeping routine appointments.

In addition to a campaign video, a group of short adverts will be rolled out on social media channels.

The fears that people are not seeking for the medical help they need, with a recent survey discovering that forty-eight per cent of the public would delay or not seek medical device at all, has sparked the campaign.

Professor Stephen Powis, NHS England’s Medical Director, stated: “We also want you to help us help you stay healthy and get the care that you need. Please use NHS health services if you need them for your health needs, contact your GP if you are worried about cancer symptoms, an unusual lump for example, or blood in your urine.”
