Lewisham General Practice Awards 2024/25

31 January 2025

7.00pm - 1.00am 

Venue: The Rivoli Ballroom, 350 Brockley Road, London, SE4 2BY

These Awards are organised by Lewisham CEPN Training Hub with colleagues and leads from Lewisham ICB

These awards recognised the outstanding work in Lewisham by staff working in general practice and were an exciting opportunity to celebrate with colleagues, as well as showcase and award teams and individuals.

The evening included a buffet and entertainment. To ensure fairness, we allocated a number of tickets to each PCN/organisation - guests were asked to ensure they selected  their ticket under the PCN/Organisation they worked for and to complete the booking form in full. We requested that tickets were only booked if the guest  intended to attend and to cancel their booking if they were no longer able to make it so the ticket could be offered to others.

Unfortunately, due to limited funds, we were only able to invite staff working in general practice within Lewisham. As such, we were unable to extend invitations to partners, friends, or family members. We hoped this would not deter guests from booking a free ticket and joining us for an enjoyable evening with colleagues and work friends.
