PATIENTS can receive advice on healthcare services at a new drop-in centre.

The centre, in Grand Depot Road, Woolwich, was opened on Monday and will allow residents to speak to trained volunteers about their healthcare options.

The volunteers will also listen to any feedback and suggestions for improvements for health facilities in the borough.

Support officer Anita Damte said: "The main aim is to reach out to members of the public and hear their views on healthcare."

The centre has been developed by the Patient and Public Involvement Forums for primary care in Greenwich, a group of volunteers who aim to ensure community involvement in healthcare provision.
