Our practice teamed up with other local GPs, the Stockwell Forum and the Lambeth Patient Participation Group (PPG) Network for an event in February 2019: Stockwell Health & Wellbeing Forum.

It was a great event that brought together almost 50 people from many different backgrounds and experiences, all with a shared interest in working together to support health and wellbeing in Stockwell - http://www.stockwell.org.uk/2019/02/28/stockwell-forum-engaging-local-people-in-creating-a-healthy-community/

The important thing now is how we build on the momentum and bring together some of the opportunities that were formulating on the night.
