British are slow to visit their GP

Individuals may be putting themselves at risk of undiagnosed cancer by not going to see their GP as soon as they notice something unusual about their body. People across Britain are delaying going to their GP despite noticing something that isn’t usual for their body, saying they would have to feel physically unwell before they made an appointment, according to Axa PPP healthcare. A poll among more than 2,000 adults finds that 61 per cent of Brits say they have delayed making an appointment with their GP when they’ve noticed something unusual for their bodies.
