Health inequalities in
Lewisham • Life expectancy lower in some areas e.g. in Crofton men typically
live for 5 years longer than in New Cross and women for 5.3
years longer.
• Fewer black women are screened for breast cancer than others.
• HIV infection is often diagnosed later in black African
heterosexual men
• White men and women are more likely to be admitted to hospital
for alcohol related problems.
Patient access
• GP Extended Access - GP and nurse appointments 7 days a week 8am- 8pm
• GP Online services – booking appointments, repeat prescriptions and access to
medical records
• E-consultations – on-line video consultations and symptom checker
• Pharmacy first - providing advice, treatment and medicines for common ailments
at local pharmacies
• Evaluation & improvement - practices have undertaken a self-assessment of
current arrangements and developed action plans to improve access
• Self management programmes for Long Term Conditions
(LTCs) - supporting patients to better self-manage their conditions.

Our focus for 2018/19 In 2018-19 we will be focusing on redesigning services to:
• Improve people’s access to information and advice and participation in activities and opportunities for health and
wellbeing
• Join up the care and support that is delivered at a neighbourhood
level and in people’s own homes
• Provide the urgent and proactive care people need in times of
crisis or when they need more care and support for a short period
of time
We will be looking closely for example on how we can make
improvements in these areas for frail and vulnerable people, those
with mental ill health and those with specific conditions such as
cancer and diabetes.

Some of the feedback received:
O e of the best urses I have ever had the pleasure of eeti g. “he has taken care of me and been so attentive over the last 2 weeks. I am very
happy you have urses of this sta dard. Tha k you
XXXX has been a caring, attentive nurse that has been taking care of me. It
has been a pleasure to get to know her and she will not be forgotten.
Feedback received February 2018
• Late arrivals – unable to see patients that arrive more than 10mins late for their appointment
• DNA rate – We are constantly trying to reduce this so that appointments are not wasted. Currently sending SMS appointment reminders and calling all patients
• Dressings – limited storage and knowing what patients require prior their appointment is challenging
Private work
• Inappropriate referrals
– Patients being put to the nurse for GP issues

things easier”
