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.
Smokers who quit for 28 days are five times more likely to successfully stop smoking forever. Get the help you need in Lambeth to get through that month.
Stoptober is back, and we’re calling on every one of England’s 5 million adult smokers to join the 2.5 million happier, healthier ex-smokers with more money in their pockets who have made Stoptober their time to quit in the past 13 years.
Lambeth’s unique creative health programme to support LGBTQ+ smokers to quit is back! Lambeth Links, Art4Space and Lambeth Stop Smoking services are proud to offer six free sessions practising mindfulness, creativity and open conversations on healthy living that you can bring into your daily life.
From Friday 22 August, anyone aged 55 to 74 living in Lambeth who has ever smoked is eligible for a free NHS Lung Health Check.
Targeted Lung Health Checks are designed to assess your risk of developing lung cancer, and refer you to specialists if necessary.
