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.

As the year draws to a close, the Brixton Blood Donor Centre is calling on our community to come together and make a life-changing difference. Blood donations drop during the winter months, yet the need remains constant – and urgent. One hour of your time could save up to three lives, making it one of the most meaningful gifts you can give this festive season.
17–23 November marks Self Care Week, a national campaign to empower people to take charge of their health and wellbeing. We’re taking this opportunity to remind residents about the small, positive choices that help you stay well through the colder months.
