Women and girls in Lambeth are getting better access to joined-up health and care — and a new video released by Lambeth Together shows how. The film celebrates the Women’s and Girls’ Health Hub, which this week picked up the Patient Involvement and Choice Award at the national NHS Excellence Awards, highlighting the importance and impact of working together to bring support closer to communities across the borough.
Women’s and Girls’ Health Hubs in south east London has been awarded a London regional NHS Excellence Award, in the patient involvement and choice category. They will now be put forward for the National Awards and Winners will be announced in June at the NHS Confederation Expo.
Lambeth’s revised sexual health strategy prioritises access, prevention, and inclusion. The new five-year sexual and reproductive health & HIV strategy represents a significant advancement toward improving population health outcomes. Its objectives include addressing increasing demand for services, ensuring sustainable funding, and reducing disparities in sexual health.
In its first six months, Lambeth’s Women and Girls’ Health Hub has improved women’s access to specialist support, enhanced the skills of clinicians working in general practice, and shown promising signs of the potential of this model to deliver benefits for women and girls across the borough.
