  • A royal visit to help celebrate our 6th anniversary in 2019

    We were honoured by the presence of HRH The Duchess of Cornwall to our 6th anniversary celebration at the Stockwell Community Centre on 7th February 2019.

    Attended by patients and GPs from Lambeth as well as many other well wishers from across London, Her Royal Highness kindly agreed to cut this extraordianary cake, specially-baked by Jonathan Wilsmhurst, Denise, Kevin, Kimberley, Laura and Helen from the Grantham Practice.

    Her Royal Highness’ visit recognises the positive contributions that the Co-op has made to the health of local people living with long term conditions as well as the sustainability of the health and social care system.  

    In a short speech, Dr Michael Dixon, NHS national Clinical Lead for Social Prescribing drew attention to our Co-op's value to the wider NHS community as a model of social prescribing in action:

    "Food is the single most important factor in health and disease. But what you are achieving is not just about food. It is about physical activity and social interaction which are also very important for health.  You are also leading the way in connecting general practice with its community and enabling it to offer something beyond pills and potions."
