About our Public Forum

Our public forum is an informal space for you to directly engage with local decision-makers and share what matters to you about health and care in Lambeth.

It’s designed for Lambeth residents, groups, and anyone interested in local health and care services to share their thoughts, ask questions, and offer input.

Who’ll be there:

  • Local community members (that’s you!)
  • Board members (healthcare and social care decision-makers)
  • Representatives from local health and care services

What you can do:

  • Meet local decision-makers: talk to those responsible for planning health and care services
  • Ask questions: get direct answers about health and care services in Lambeth
  • Share your views: let the board know what matters most to you and your community
  • Influence future plans: your feedback can shape how services are planned and delivered
  • You’re also welcome to just observe

Why it’s important:

The public forum is your chance to have a real impact on how health and care services in Lambeth are developed. Whether you’re part of a local group or just want to make your voice heard, this is your space.

How to submit your question:

  • You can ask a question at any point during the forum, and the Chair will explain how to do so at the beginning of the meeting
  • If you’d like to ask a question in advance, you can send it to lambethtogether@selondonics.nhs.uk
  • If you prefer, our Chair can also read your question out aloud for you

The written answers to questions asked at the public forum are published 28 days after the meeting in our meeting papers archive
