Over the summer of 2016, we engaged with 114 young people aged 12-23, via workshops and surveys, to find out about their experiences of mental health education and information, access to services, and where they prefer to go for support.

Healthwatch Southwark wanted to understand the experience of local people in the context of the national experience of Trans patients and so started a series of engagement activities.

Healthwatch Southwark spoke with Traveller women who reside in Traveller sites in Southwark, of which there are four: Springtide (Peckham), Brideale (Peckham), Ilderton (Bermondsey) and Burnhill (Peckham).

Following an early report about the experiences of seldom-heard communities in accessing GPs, we carried out a review of GP out-of-hours answerphone messages.

In December 2015, we published a report based on what 79 Southwark residents told us about GP access and experience.
