Flu and COVID‑19 can be serious for many people. Getting your seasonal vaccinations helps top up your protection and reduces the risk of becoming very unwell. It’s best to get vaccinated as soon as you’re invited, so you’re protected through the colder months when virus rates can be at their highest
What to expect
How to get vaccinated
Who this is for (in brief)
If your immune system is affected by a condition or treatment, you’ll usually be invited directly. Please don’t worry if you haven’t heard yet – invites are being phased. You can still check with your GP practice or local pharmacist.
For local information, visit the NHS North West London website.

The People’s Health Trust has released a report calling for mental health support for staff of local charities managing the aftermath of last summer’s riots. Take a look here.

I encourage you to explore the guide, not because every aspect may directly resonate with you, but because, from my experience, we often share more in common as individuals than we might initially recognise. With that perspective, I believe there is something within this guide that will connect with you on a meaningful level.
Please feel free to share with your SU’s and patients.
The UK Health Security Agency have extensive guidance and materials for supporting communities, including:
You can find a map of Cool Spaces across London here, and register your own too.

Over the years, the Community Link Advisors have developed a strong and collaborative relationship with the communities of Hammersmith & Fulham, as well as with the various external services and organisations supporting the borough. Your ongoing support has been instrumental in enhancing the experiences of our service users, helping to make their journeys more manageable. We deeply appreciate the invaluable contributions you have made over the years. While our service plays a vital role in their support network, it is only one part of a much larger system of care. It is the collective efforts of communities and services like yours that provide the continuity and stability needed for individuals to progress in their wellbeing journey.
I’m pleased to share with you our workshop timetable for June. These interactive and informative sessions are led by my colleague and me.
I’ve also included links to this month’s mental health tips:
