Consultation and Engagement Database

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause many health problems, including cervical cancer, genital warts, and cancers of the mouth, throat, and anus. The HPV vaccine is free for young people up to age 25, yet uptake across south-east London is lower than it could be. This report shares what young people in Greenwich, especially those in Thamesmead, told us about their understanding of HPV, their experiences of HPV vaccination, and the barriers that make it harder to feel confident about getting protected.

In 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, METRO GAVS established the Live Well Partnership Programme Management Board (LWPPMB). Having since rebranded as the Health Equity and Equality Alliance (HE&EA), the initial aim of the LWPPMB was to work collaboratively across the Health and Social Care System with Statutory and Voluntary Sector stakeholders to ensure that voice, influence, representation, engagement, and community development deliverables were better coordinated within the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG), and took advantage of emerging local and national opportunities.
