Lambeth Together partners are expanding support for residents with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as part of our shared commitment to bring more care closer to home.
The North Lambeth Primary Care Network (PCN), in partnership with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, is launching a new proactive care service for people in north Lambeth living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
After a weekend celebrating love, Lambeth residents over 40 are being encouraged to show their hearts a little care this Heart Month by dropping into a local pharmacy for a quick, free blood pressure check.
High blood pressure remains a major issue in the borough, with data showing that just over 34% of Lambeth adults have higher‑than‑average blood pressure.
NHS South East London has launched a new illustrated guide to healthcare to help residents find the right care, first time. The guide takes a user‑centred approach: you simply start with your symptom or concern, and it sets out a clear route for you to access the most appropriate NHS service — whether that’s getting better at home, visiting a local pharmacy, or knowing when to seek urgent advice.
With colder temperatures and seasonal illnesses, winter signals a surge in demand for NHS services. To ensure people get the right help quickly, local care partnerships across south east London are working to raise awareness of NHS 111 online.
