A new partnership has been launched to improve sexual health outcomes across Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. The Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham Sexual Health Alliance brings together local authorities, NHS providers and community organisations to tackle shared challenges and deliver more equitable, accessible and community-rooted sexual health services.
Lambeth Together is proud to announce that Lambeth and Southwark have been selected as one of just 43 areas across England—and one of five in London—to take part in the Department of Health and Social Care’s flagship National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme.
Bridge@Lambeth is a new monthly clinic within general practice that supports trans and non-binary residents in Lambeth. The clinic provides gender affirming healthcare within a primary care setting, and seeks to tackle barriers that may stop the trans and non-binary community from accessing primary care.
Lambeth residents can now get easier access to HIV prevention medication, with a new digital service comissioned by Lambeth Council. Pre exposure prohylaxis, or PrEP, is an HIV prevention medication in pill form. When taken correctly, PrEP can reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex by 99 percent.
