Annual Report 2022/23

Report - 3 July 2023

Our Annual Report for 2022/23 is out now! See how your feedback on health and social care services in Lambeth helped us influence local providers to make things better.

Read on to learn about what we achieved in 2022/23 including: 

  • A report on Continuing Healthcare which helped partners identify issues with information sharing and led to agreement that professionals would get additional briefings on NHS CHC assessment requirements. 
  • An NHS workshop for Ukrainian refugees which helped reduce barriers of access and raise awareness about the health system to newly arrived residents in the UK. 
  • The rollout of wellbeing events aimed at reducing loneliness, which led to a greater understanding of services available to Lambeth residents. 
  • Gave people with mental health needs a greater voice in service improvements through our enter and view programme.

Our work would have been impossible without the help of Lambeth residents. Over 500 people shared their experiences of health and social care services with us, helping to raise awareness of issues and improve care, while over 160 people shared feedback and came to us for clear advice on complaints procedures as well as information on mental health, dentistry, GP and advocacy services.
