Feedback about Lewisham Hospital

Healthwatch Lewisham have contacted me asking if I could forward this onto the LGBT community locally as they want the feedback we can provide – in particular I know a few of you have raised issues at the Lewisham LGBT Forum meetings around sexual health experiences, please see below with how to feed those experiences back – there is an online form too if you can’t make the meeting:
“Please help me in promoting this event by forwarding to anyone who might be interested to share their experience. We want to hear from patients who used Lewisham Hospital in the last year.

Care Quality Commission is inspecting Lewisham Hospital (LGT NHS Trust) in March 2017. Healthwatch Lewisham is organising a focus group to find out from patients what works and what doesn’t work so well. The feedback gathered will help to guide the inspection.

  • When: 15 Feb 2017
  • Where: St Laurence Community Centre, 37 Bromley Rd, Catford, London SE6 2TS
  • What time: 3pm – 4pm
