Lewisham Health and Care Partnership aims to achieve a sustainable and accessible health and care system, to support people to maintain and improve their physical and mental wellbeing, to live independently and have access to high-quality care, when they need it.

Health and Care Partners across Lewisham have recognised for many years the need for change within our local health and care system. Lewisham’s population is growing, people are living longer – many with a number of long-term health conditions – and the demand for care is increasing, both in numbers and complexity.

Working together, we want to achieve a sustainable and accessible health and care system to better support people to maintain and improve their physical and mental wellbeing, to live independently and to have access to high-quality care when needed.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is an important part of healthcare. If you work with patients and need clear guidance, these trusted resources can help. They include information on protecting children, young people and adults, and what to do if you have concerns.

Lewisham's priorities are:

To strengthen the integration of primary and community based care

To build stronger, healthier families and provide families with integrated, high quality, whole family support services

To address inequalities throughout Lewisham’s health and care system and tackle the impact of disadvantage and discrimination on health and care outcomes

To maximise our roles as Anchor Organisations, be  compassionate employers and build a happier, healthier workforce

To achieve financial sustainability across the system.
