During HIV Testing Week – 10-16 February – Lambeth is joining others to encourage uptake of testing for HIV, share its benefits, and signpost residents to how they can get free and confidential testing.
Though fewer people are being diagnosed with HIV, late diagnoses remain an issue, and some individuals are still unaware they have the virus.
Flu is caused by the influenza virus. It can be a very unpleasant illness for children. It can also lead to serious problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
Children can catch and spread flu easily. Vaccinating them also protects others who are vulnerable to flu, such as babies and older people.
From Monday 3 February 2025, Lambeth’s Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Hub Service will be located at Raleigh Gardens (Brixton Hill). The service will be delivered by MSI Reproductive Choices and will replace the service provided at the Akerman Health Centre.
In 2023, we asked residents how we can improve contraception services in Lambeth.
Friday 31 January’s Great Mental Health Day aims to get Lambeth sharing and exploring about small acts of kindness that make a more supportive, caring, and compassionate community.
The theme of this year’s Great Mental Health Day is ‘small actions for others’ – a reminder that we can all do something to spread hope and kindness.
