Referrals
The Well Centre is an informal and welcoming space in which young people can feel comfortable. As such, we believe we are an excellent referral pathway and are keen to work closely with local organisations to ensure an integrated and effective approach to meeting the healthcare needs of young people. We accept referrals from across London – not just in Lambeth – and will see young people between the ages of 13 and 20.
It should be noted that the Well Centre is not an urgent care service, we will endeavour to see young people as soon as possible, but there may be a wait of several weeks for an appointment, especially during busy period.
