Health for north east London
Health
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.
