We are excited to announce that West London NHS Trust, as part of the North London Forensic Collaborative (NLFC), has been shortlisted for the prestigious NHS Parliamentary Award for Excellence in Mental Health Care.
West London NHS Trust plays a key role in delivering adult secure inpatient and community forensic services for the North London population. This is done in partnership with the lead provider, North London Mental Health Partnership, and four other NHS trusts.
Since its formation in 2020, the NLFC has delivered:
- Better value for money by reducing independent sector hospital placements outside of the Collaborative by 70 per cent.
- Improved quality by delivering care closer to home and investing £23m of savings into new community services.
- Increased coproduction by empowering patients and carers to work with staff in designing services and quality improvements plus providing paid roles for people with lived experience.
- Stronger voluntary sector partnerships by introducing grants to enable organisations to scale up and diversify.
The winners will be announced at the NHS Parliamentary Awards 2024 ceremony on Monday 14 October 2024.
