We understand that there is a lot of anxiety around the safety of the vaccines. The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are safe and effective. They will give you the best protection against coronavirus.
A new community survey has just been launched as part of South London Listens to help find the solutions to the impact Covid-19 has had on the mental health of our communities.
We continue to see patients at all our sites, as well as in their homes, and have a number of measures in place to ensure our sites are Covid secure, including the wearing of face masks and coverings, deep cleaning, one-way signage and cleaning stations.

We asked Sarah about her experiences working as a mental health nurse here at the Trust:
I have worked as a RMN within the Trust for just over a year but I have previous experience working with those within mental health as a HCA in an acute CAMHS inpatient unit whilst I was a student nurse.
I have worked as a support worker previously with children and adults with learning difficulties.
I am passionate about working to support others and teaching which has always been an interest of mine.
I love the hands on work and learning something new everyday working with patients aswell as alongside my colleagues
People with mental health problems can snap out of it or change if they tried hard enough.
