Important Information For Patients

Business As Usual OpenWe would like to reassure patients that no services are changing now and all services are running as usual.

You may have heard about A&E and maternity services changing in the future - but this will not happen overnight.

Alternative arrangements would have to be in place, and the Government has talked about changes taking place over a three year time frame.

It is important to stress:

  • Our 24/7 Emergency Department and Urgent Care Centre continue to run as normal
  • We continue to provide full maternity services
  • All scheduled appointments will continue unaffected
  • Patient safety will always be our first priority
  • We will continue to provide the best quality care for the people of Lewisham


We take great pride in being at the heart of this community and urge you to continue choosing Lewisham Hospital for your care.
