Women and girls across Lambeth are benefiting from a series of outreach initiatives designed to give them the support and information needed to manage their health confidently. The project is part of NHS South East London Women’s and Girls’ Health Programme and focuses on four key areas: heavy menstrual bleeding, contraception, pre-conception and menopause.
On 22 October, Lambeth Council, NHS South East London, and The Bridge at Waterloo hosted a borough-wide event bringing together creative practitioners, health professionals, and community organisations. Attendees had the opportunity to share ideas, build connections, and celebrate the role of creativity in supporting health and wellbeing.
For Pharmacy First Week, we spoke with Linda, a local pharmacist, to explore the wide range of services available for Lambeth residents. From expert advice to convenient treatments, Linda shares how your community pharmacy can support your health and wellbeing.
“I’m a pharmacist, and every day I help people with a wide range of health concerns.
