working across London with those experiencing homelessness -
on the streets, in hostels, day centres, on discharge - meeting them where they are to provide care

Although our service runs Mon-Fri we are always aware of how health needs don’t just take a break over weekends!

We work hard to make sure we communicate with patients, key workers & staff to ensure patients are signposted to services & understand how to manage meds or condition

It has been a while since we last posted!

Sadly, we have been busy these past two years, we have had to expand as a team as the number of people experiencing homelessness & needing our care has increased!

We are now working across more London boroughs in a variety of settings
