About us
CNWL provides NHS servicesthroughout a person's life, in physical and mental health and everything inbetween, at GPs and hospitals to the community and in their own home.
The majority of our services are provided in the community, which means treating people in their homes or from clinics close to home. In this sense we are a very modern part of the NHS, something the new Long Term Plan wants to see more of, with better integration and coordination of care, delivered as close to home as possible
Where community care is not possible we offer a number of facilities to treat people in hospital or residential environments. We also provide healthcare in prisons in London and the surrounding areas.
Partnerships are central to what we do here - with patients and their families, with staff and with other organisations, especially commissioners and providers but also with local authorities, GPs, universities and the voluntary sector. We envisage more in the years to come.
We are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the people who use them, and we actively encourage involvement from local people who can help make a difference
