📍 Going to physio in Greenwich? Check where your appointment is.

MSK physiotherapy services have changed, and appointments are no longer being provided at Manor Brook Health Centre or Greenwich Square. Circle Integrated Care now provides all MSK physiotherapy services in Greenwich.

The referral process hasn’t changed—but if you already have an appointment, it’s worth checking where you need to go.

Taking health and social care into the community—not expecting people to navigate it alone.

Our latest good practice case study explores how the Blackheath and Charlton Primary Care Network Community CafĂŠ brings residents, volunteers and local services together in one welcoming space.

It offers practical learning for neighbourhood health in Greenwich—showing how trusted community spaces can improve access, strengthen connections and support wellbeing closer to home.

“In an emergency, they just give you a screen and it’s difficult if you don’t know English.”

Greenwich’s older Nepali residents told us that language barriers, online forms and self-service screens can make it difficult to book appointments and get help—especially when support is needed urgently.

They want clearer information and more preventative health support delivered through trusted community spaces.

What does ageing well really mean? We asked Bengali women in Greenwich—and their answers went far beyond healthcare.

They spoke about social connections, staying independent, community belongingness and the barriers that can make accessing support harder such as confidence in using NHS services and language barriers —to name a few.

Over the past six months, we've been working with 10 community groups across Greenwich to better understand people's experiences and awareness of abuse.

💬 We spoke directly with more than 200 residents and reached over 1,000 people through trusted local community networks.

These conversations helped us understand how people recognise abuse, what encourages or prevents them from seeking support, and why some forms of harm often go unnoticed.

Every conversation helps build a clearer picture of what needs to change to make support more accessible for everyone.
