Health conscious residents can get a check-up, support and advice as the NHS well-being bus revs into Redditch on Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

Organised by Redditch Council with partners Rubicon Leisure the bus will feature expert speakers and a wealth of information to educate and inform.

Redditch Borough Council’s Portfolio-holder for Leisure, Cllr Juliet Barker-Smith said: “The experts and information on the bus will cover a wide range of health topics and it is great to see it stop in the Borough once again.

A representative from Healthwatch Worcestershire will also be at the event, giving people the chance to have their say about health and care services across the County. Feedback will be used to help inform improvements across the service in the future.
