About Us

This vision for the future of healthcare in North West London is being taken forward by eight clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), made up of GPs representing NW London's eight primary care trusts (PCTs). They have worked with hospital doctors, nurse leaders, providers of community care, volunteer groups and charities to develop the proposals and to consider the ways health services are being improved elsewhere in London and around the world.
They believe that the way our health services are delivered needs to change now to ensure that we can provide the highest quality care in the future.

NHS staff are totally committed to this high quality care, but need to have the right workforce, skills and surroundings to deliver this for patients. Increasingly, a number of different factors in NW London are making it very difficult for us to look after patients in this way.
We have therefore developed a vision for how we want health services to be developed and improved in NW London and this website contains more detail about the proposals, how they could affect you and how you can find out more and have your say between now and 8 October 2012.

As people live longer and the population of London increases, the NHS faces increasing pressure. Conditions related to old age and modern lifestyles are becoming more prevalent and there are too few specialists in hospitals to provide high quality 24/7 care, working from inadequate NHS facilities, and working within an increasingly tight budget.
These challenges need to be met – or the NHS and its services in NW London will deteriorate.
