Lambeth Together’s Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Delivery Alliance (NWDA) is taking the opportunity of World Hypertension Day (May 17 2023) to highlight the importance of monitoring blood pressure and bringing awareness to the 1 billion people living with high blood pressure worldwide.
A Lambeth primary care network’s innovative 12 month project has eliminated inequalities in blood pressure control between their black and white patients.
High blood pressure is a key cause of strokes and heart attacks.
Lambeth Living Well Network Alliance is recruiting four “Community Commissioners”. These roles offer an opportunity for people being supported by mental health services, their families and carers and community members to play a meaningful role in decision making about mental health services in the Borough.
Lambeth’s Culturally Appropriate Peer Support and Advocacy (CAPSA) service is the winner of the HSJ Partnership ‘Best Not for Profit Working in Partnership with the NHS’ 2023 award.
This award recognises the importance of Lambeth Together’s Living Well Network Alliance’s partnership working around the codesign of this service to address mental health inequalities.
