Social Prescribing Day, celebrated annually on 19 March, is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the transformative impact of social prescribing on health and wellbeing. In Lambeth, social prescribing is a crucial element of community health, embedding social prescribers into GP practices and using their networking expertise to reach into specialist health and care services and provide holistic care.
Last week, Lambeth’s Hills, Brook and Dale Primary Care Network and the Eve Appeal welcomed local residents to an open discussion and workshop on womb cancer at Goodwin Hall in West Norwood. This workshop is part of a series organised across south east London by South East London Cancer Alliance (SELCA), promoting screening for womb cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.
