Population health management
Lewisham Council is embedding population health management through community-based health activities, focusing on cardiovascular health checks.
Population health management, an approach to improving the health of a defined population, is being embedded by Lewisham Council through its Health Equity Teams (HETs). Between October 2025 and March 2026, the HETs engaged over 1,100 residents in community-based health activities, focusing on cardiovascular health checks. This initiative, partnering GP leads with Black-led community organisations, identified 113 abnormal results requiring follow-up and aims to establish a sustainable model for community-centred prevention.
Separately, other councils have recently addressed broader public health strategies. In September 2026, Brent's Health and Wellbeing Board reviewed the emerging West and North London 10-Year Strategy and a Cancer Health Needs Assessment. Bromley's Health and Wellbeing Board also discussed public health matters, including updates on childhood obesity and integrated neighbourhood teams, in September 2026. Waltham Forest's integrated boards discussed the Better Care Fund Annual Plan in April 2026.
