How can NHS services in south London be improved?
What do patients and service users think?
We are a team of researchers at King’s College London and St George’s, University of London, working with the financial support of the National Institute for Health Research (the research arm of the NHS) to make health services in south London better.
We are part of an organisation called the 'Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care South London' – CLAHRC South London for short. We have been given £9 million from the National Institute for Health Research and are using the money to improve services for people with diabetes; maternity services; services for people who have had a stroke; palliative and end of life care services; and services for people who drink alcohol in a potentially dangerous way. We also plan to improve the control of infection – and reduce the incorrect use of antibiotics – and address the physical health needs of people who have experienced the symptoms of psychosis.
Meet the researchers, find out about their plans and tell them what you think they should be doing on:
Saturday 7 March 2015
10am to 3.30pm
Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre SE1 9NH
(5 minutes from Waterloo station)
The event is open to everyone who uses NHS services in south London and will include a free lunch. We can also reimburse the cost of travelling to Waterloo and provide a creche place foe children aged four months to four years.
