Shaping a healthier future for North West London
The programme is being led by the eight clinical commissioning groups and other clinicians across North West London who have seen first hand the changing needs and health inequalities in the area – life expectancy in different parts of NW London varies by as much as 17 years and there is a failure to meet staff and patients' expectations and standards when it comes to the quality of services delivered.
These clinicians have identified a compelling case for change which highlights the inconsistencies and failings of the current system and sets out objectives for a better, healthier future for North West London.
The aim of the programme is to ensure that the right care is delivered in the right places. The next step is to address this need for change by working with patients, GPs, other clinicians and the public to develop detailed proposals for how services could be organised differently in the future. These proposals will then form the basis of a full public consultation planned to start in June 2012 when everyone will get a chance to have their say before any final decisions are made.
The eight leaders of North West London's clinical commissioning groups have issued a pledge detailing their commitments to steer the programme and their vision for the future.
