Statement from Lambeth Clinical Cabinet and GP Clinical Commissioners about Black Lives Matter
The death of George Floyd and the worldwide response to his killing have served as a reminder of the deep inequalities that remain in our society.
We, the Lambeth Clinical Cabinet of GPs along with the GP Commissioning leads acknowledge the disproportionate impact of these inequalities on people of Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
We also acknowledge the negative health and social impact that Covid-19 has had on BAME communities both directly and also in highlighting further the existing inequalities in our society.
In Lambeth, general practice is provided by a diverse workforce of whom we are justifiably proud. We have risen to the challenge of the pandemic and have been agile and swift in our responses. This has ensured that general practice has remained open all the way through the lockdown.
We aspire to look after our staff well. We will ensure that we fully assess the risks to our staff and take all necessary steps to minimise those risks. We also aspire to look after the wellbeing of all our staff.
General practice is for everyone. We are here to advocate for the health of our patients. We will ensure that we increase our efforts to tackle the health inequalities suffered by BAME communities but also others that are disadvantaged in our society today.
We pledge that we will work collaboratively with our partner organisations in health and social care to improve the health and wellbeing of patients registered with practices in Lambeth.
On a number of days throughout the year the practice is closed for staff training.
We will be closed for Protected Learning Time on:
Thursday 30/01/2020 from 12.30pm.
There will be no GP’s available in the afternoon. Patients are reminded to collect and/or request prescriptions in the morning.
Whilst the practice is closed please call 111 if you are unable to wait until the morning.
Our practice is collaborating with NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) which is providing NHS numbers for those patients that may be suitable for electronic repeat dispensing prescriptions.
The information is obtained from NHS prescriptions submitted to the NHSBSA. A member of
our clinical team will contact these patients soon to explain the benefits of this service.
It is still time to get your flu vaccination! We continue to offer the flu vaccination till the end of March 2020. Please call us on 020 7274 3314 to book an appointment.
Flu vaccinations help protect those at risk of flu and its complications. People considered to be at risk are:
Anyone in these risk groups is more likely to develop potentially serious complications of flu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), so it’s recommended that they have a flu vaccine every year to help protect them.

Awareness weeks are run by the PPG and aim to encourage patients to consider their health and well-being outside of GP or hospital visits, and usually take various themes. Our upcoming awareness week, Mind and Body, links physical and mental health, and will involve short presentations from PPG steering group members with some information to take away.
We’d like to see you there, so drop by at 6:30pm (we aim to start no later than 6:45pm) on 17th September for refreshments and friendly discussions with the Group.
