About us
North East London (NEL) is a diverse and vibrant area, with a rapidly growing population of more than two million people. It covers the City of London and the London boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, and Havering.
These form our seven place-based partnerships where our integration and tackling of health inequalities are focused. In addition we have four provider collaboratives across the acute sector (Barts Health, BHRUT and Homerton), mental health (NELFT and ELFT), community care (NELFT, Homerton and ELFT) and Primary Care (General Practice, Dentistry, Optometry, and Pharmacy). Additionally, our umbrella voluntary sector and our Healthwatch organisations have been supported and resourced to form their own NEL collaborations.
OUR HOSPITALS
Our communities are diverse and aspirational but there are many challenges for health and care as we work to address historic health inequalities and respond to a growing population and changing landscape. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation, meaningful co-production and resident participation and to ensuring the best possible outcomes for our residents and staff.
We are exceedingly ambitious and actively draw on best practice locally, nationally and internationally, clear that we are moving beyond performance management to maximising value and harnessing our individual capabilities for the mutual benefit of our residents.
Our strategy is shaped by resident-led success measures and the Good Care Framework. It focuses on delivering three key national priorities:
- Moving care from hospitals into community settings
- Expanding digital healthcare and reducing reliance on analogue systems
- Shifting from treatment to prevention to improve long-term health outcomes
Through this approach, we aim to create a more accessible, equitable and sustainable health and care system for all residents in north east London.
