Temporary changes at "The Source"

News - 30 April 2026

"The Source" will close temporarily for refurbishment, with services moving to a nearby mobile clinic from 5 May as a short‑term arrangement to keep care accessible.

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust has announced that The Source in Horn Park will close from 30 April 2026 to allow essential refurbishment work to take place. While the building is upgraded, services will continue from 5 May 2026 in a temporary mobile clinic based in the Horn Park Community Centre car park, directly opposite the current site on Sibthorpe Road. This short‑term setup is designed to ensure people can still access support while the main building is out of use. 

 

What to Expect 

During the refurbishment period, Advanced Nurse Practitioner walk‑in clinics will continue, offering help with minor illnesses and health concerns. Specialist sexual health services will pause, but staff will be available to offer advice and direct people to alternative clinics if needed. The refurbished building is expected to reopen in summer 2026 under a new name — the Horn Park Health Hub — with more clinic space and the potential for expanded therapy and rehabilitation services. 

For people in Greenwich, these changes matter because The Source provides convenient, community‑based healthcare. The temporary relocation means services remain close by, reducing disruption while improvements are made. 

 

About “The Source” 

It’s important to remember that to use this service, you should live in the Horn Park neighbourhood, live elsewhere in the Greenwich borough, or be registered with a Greenwich GP. 

 

The facility is a collaboration between Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, the Royal Borough of Greenwich Council, and the Charlton Athletic Community Trust, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening local health provision.

Sharing Healthwatch Greenwich’s HPV learning across South London

In December 2025 and January 2026, Healthwatch Greenwich had the opportunity to share learning from our HPV project at two South London system events: the South East London Early Cancer Diagnosis Forum and the ARC South London Knowledge Exchange Event. These conferences brought together clinicians, public health teams, GPs, practice managers, cancer alliance partners and a small number of voluntary and community organisations to explore how cancer prevention and early diagnosis can be improved.
