This is an online community for you to share your ideas, discuss important topics, provide feedback and help people live healthier lives in our shared communities.&nbsp;Get involved and participate in conversations about health in south east London.&nbsp;

Welcome to Let’s Talk Health and Care in South East London 

We would like to understand how women and girls wish to engage with and access healthcare. 





This will help inform the development of Women and Girls' Health Hubs in South East London.How you can get involved:More background information is included below to update you on our work around women's and girls' health in south east London. We are keen to hear from you about:What health services and support are most important to women and girls in our community?How can these services be delivered so they are easier to access?How can we ensure women and girls in our diverse communities have access to knowledge and information about their health and wellbeing - including where to go and how to know if they might need support from a healthcare professional? What are the barriers you and other women and girls in your community face in relation to health? What could we do to remove these barriers so that everyone has access to the care and support they need, regardless of where they live or their situation?Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey here.You can also join discussions in the forum below.ContextWe want to change the way women and girls’ health is delivered in our communities, so that it meets the needs of those who need it most.As part of a national Women’s Health Strategy* there has been a commitment to developing ‘women's health hubs’. Women's health hubs aim to:join up health and care services in the communityhelp more women to have access to information, in an easy to understand and culturally appropriate way, to make decisions about their health and well-being support women with 'related health issues' to be seen in the right setting, by the right professional, at the right time. *While the Women's Health Strategy refers to women, some people who do not identify as women will also require access to and may benefit from care in women’s health hubs. These groups will also have specific needs and experiences which will be considered. You can find out more about the national Women’s Health Strategy here.While the NHS and Local Authorities provide high quality care in many places, the way services are currently funded and provided can make it difficult for some women and girls to access 'women's health' services, support and advice in a timely way. Many of these women go on to suffer ill-health that could have been prevented or treated earlier to enable them to live healthier for longer.For example:Despite very good evidence that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help relieve many issues women face with menopause, there is a lack of awareness about how HRT can help and how to access it alongside other well-being support, and women in south east London are less likely than other parts of England to be prescribed HRT.Many girls might be dealing with heavy periods or potential signs of a condition called endometriosis but may not feel comfortable talking about this with a health care professional or know where to go for support.Nearly 50% of pregnancies in England are unplanned but many women do not know what they need to do to help increase their chance of having a healthy birth and birth experience, or what to do to help prevent becoming pregnant if they do not wish to have children.Issues to do with the pelvic floor muscles, such as bladder control, especially after giving birth, are common but often under-diagnosed and under-treated. Many women may not feel comfortable to discuss these problems or may not know about treatments.Each Integrated Care System is expected to have at least one Women's Health hub operational by the end of December 2024. We want to ensure that our approach to women's and girls' health in South East London meets the needs of our communities, addresses real life issues and closes the gap on unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes. Nationally we are required to have 8 services offered within the hub; however, there may be other services that are important to you and women and girls living in our diverse communities across south East London. The 8 services include:menstrual problems, including heavy, painful or irregular menstrual bleeding, and care for conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndromemenopausecontraception support and methods (for example, long acting reversible contraception such as coils or implants) and emergency hormonal contraception (often called 'the morning after pill')care for people in the lead up to getting pregnant ('pre-conception care')breast painpessary fitting and removal (which can sometimes be needed to help improve a women's pelvic floor and bladder control)cervical screening (a test to help prevent cancer)screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV screeningNext StepsYour feedback is crucial in shaping a health hub that is co-designed with the people who will be using them, and one that truly serves the needs of women and girls in South East London.Alongside this feedback, we are undertaking a public health needs assessment to better understand the health needs of women and girls in south east London and reviewing existing insights from engagement activities across the integrated care system. A summary insight will be published here soon. 

Help shape the future of Women’s and Girl’s Health in South East London

Background<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="after_article_title_fragment"></table>The NHS faces big challenges. Staff are working hard, but many people still find it difficult to get the right care when they need it.On 12 September, Lord Darzi published an independent review of the NHS. It aimed to start an open conversation about the state of our health and service and the change we need. The review showed the scale of the challenge. People find it hard to get appointments, can have long waits and we need to focus more on preventing people from getting ill.That is why the NHS England together with Department of Health and Social Care has launched <a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future</a>. This is a national conversation to listen to your views and ideas to inform the development of the national 10-Year Health Plan.We know change is needed. But we also know that many of the solutions we need are already here, working somewhere in the NHS today. We in NHS South East London are already working hard and are supporting the NHS to tackle these challenges. <a href="https://www.selondonics.org/news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read more about our work on our South East London Integrated Care System website</a>We also know there is much more to do, which is why we are playing our part in the launch the consultation for the 10-Year Health Plan alongside the government, and we want to hear from you &mdash; patients, their families and the wider public &mdash; about your NHS story.How can you get involved?Your views, no matter how big or small, will help shape a new approach. This is open to everyone whether you are a member of the public or work in health and care in England tell us how the NHS needs to change.Whether you have a little to say or a lot, your views, experiences and ideas will shape immediate steps and long-term changes: a new 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS.<a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/start-here" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-europe/b4b8d581692ca16d86d40772f31f415161226be3/original/1730980256/8e153cfc4a1e0cfe1f9ec80263ffe435_start_here.jpeg?1730980256" style="width: 500px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="an image with a mother holding an young child and a health professional showing them something on a paper "></a><a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/start-here" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to share your individual views for members of the public and people working in health and care </a> <table style="width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 25.0000%;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-europe/4c084940f6c634a8d5e2c43849b077303b3d4435/original/1730975059/137a884781dcbb2b9defc77c065be474_public_-_1.jpeg?1730975059" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="A group of people talking in a community centre"></div></td><td style="width: 24.6121%;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-europe/8f6953917600848c71bf630bbd0ab3f0927812f9/original/1730975070/63910853cbd8bd7545803f0a3c3bbdd8_workforce.jpeg?1730975070" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Two pharmacists talking, text: your experience work force"></div></td><td style="width: 25.2972%;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-europe/7de67145d110867f1375c4794edbb8b5c32650fb/original/1730975085/d5fb910dee4b751d4605978a746824c3_organisations.jpeg?1730975085" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="A group of people talking in a office, text: Organisations"></div></td><td style="width: 25.0000%;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-europe/365947efd569938c7089adfae161197447628a05/original/1730975113/52e17bbe02fb2392162aa244ad2df823_ideas.jpeg?1730975113" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="A doctor speaking with a patient, text: your ideas for change"></div></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 25%; background-color: rgb(255, 237, 0);"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/your-experiences-public" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learning from your experiences: public</a></div></td><td style="width: 24.6121%; background-color: rgb(255, 237, 0);"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/your-experiences-workforce" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learning from your experiences: workforce</a></div></td><td style="width: 25.2972%; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(255, 237, 0);"><a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/folders/organisations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">If you are representing an organisation, complete the organisation questionnaire</a> by Monday 2 December at 5pm</td><td style="width: 25%; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(255, 237, 0);"><a href="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/your-ideas-for-change" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your ideas for change</a><a data-canonicalurl="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/your-ideas-for-change" href="https://nhssoutheastlondon-external.newsweaver.com/1hsksquduu/h80u2yombf1/external?a=5&p=4266385&t=1103751" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"></a><a data-canonicalurl="https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects/your-ideas-for-change" href="https://nhssoutheastlondon-external.newsweaver.com/1hsksquduu/h80u2yombf1/external?a=5&p=4266385&t=1103751" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"></a></td></tr></tbody></table> Share your views and ideas on:<ul type="disc"><li>how the NHS could change to deliver high quality care more effectively and what works well that the NHS should do more of</li><li>how other parts of the health and care system and other organisations could change to promote better health and/or improve the way they work together</li><li>how individuals and communities could do things differently in future to improve people&rsquo;s health</li></ul>
