Awareness Session

Benenden Health was founded in 1905 to provide treatment for postal workers suffering from Tuberculosis. Over the past 115 years, we've supported our members through many crises, and we’re helping to support people now. Member contributions have always been used to support the health and wellbeing of our members. That hasn’t and won’t change now, or in the future.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we’re proud to be part of a community that cares deeply for people’s health and strives to support our members every day, whether it’s through our 24/7 GP and Mental Health helplines, or other services. We all deserve access to great quality, affordable healthcare. After all, our health and wellbeing is never simple, but caring for it should be.

If you feel a lump in your breast, you should always get it checked by a GP. Most breast lumps are harmless but some can be serious.

See a GP if you notice:

  • a lump in your breast or armpit
  • any other unusual changes in your breasts – such as the nipple turning inwards, dimpled skin or bloodstained nipple discharge

Changes in the breasts can be a sign of breast cancer. This is easier to treat if it's found early.
