Health for north east London

Health logoHealth for north east London is an NHS programme review, run on behalf of north east London's primary care trusts and acute hospital trusts

The aims of health for north east London consultation is to:

•help save lives, significantly improve the health of thousands of patients, and result in a healthier population

•ensure the NHS delivers the best possible care, taking advantage of new medical developments and improving the way it delivers care to patients

•do more to prevent illness in the first place, rather than just treating it, and enable people to live healthily – and be treated – in their own communities

•bring some services closer to people’s homes and centralise others to provide better specialist care

The proposals are clinically driven –the programme is led by two clinical directors and informed by six clinical groups with health professionals from across north east London. The plans to improve hospital services have been closely aligned with the drive to provide more quality care in the community.

Alongside proposals for changes to acute services are programmes in each primary care trust to provide more care outside of hospital, based on ‘polysystem’ networks of health professionals in community settings linked to a polyclinic hub offering a wide range of services.
