North east London wins at the HSJ Awards
Two north east London projects have won awards at the prestigious HSJ Awards, with a further two projects being highly commended.
WHO WE ARE
North east London has a growing population of over two million people and is a vibrant, diverse and distinctive area of London steeped in history and culture.
Across health and care we have long worked in partnership across a number of areas to make sure that the population of north east London are healthy and thriving, with good levels of mental wellbeing, and have good access to high quality health and care services.
North East London Health and Care Partnership is a formal alliance of partners with a role in improving the health and wellbeing of our residents. Together we set the overall strategy that will guide our collective work and hold the wider health and care system to account for how services are delivered in a more joined up way.
WHAT WE DO
We work with and for all the people of north east London to create meaningful improvements in health, wellbeing and equity. We do this by bringing together health partners, local authorities and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, with residents, patients and service users to improve how we plan and deliver care and support services.
To help guide our work, together we have agreed four priorities where we want to create measurable change. These are:
- Employment and workforce
- Long term conditions
- Children and young people
- Mental health
