Our partners, people and processes Our Partnership includes representation from academia, primary and community care, mental health, secondary and specialist care and the clinical commissioning groups across North West London. Currently we have 21 partner organisations, with one new member joining in July last year Buckinghamshire New University. Imperial College Health Partners is guided by our values of focusing on the needs of patients and our local population. We are committed to building a culture of collaboration with a wide group of partners and we are driven by the principle of inclusiveness and equality which is reflected in our governance structure, membership, and way of working with wider stakeholders. We are governed by our Partnership Board which sets the work plan for the Partnership and comprises the leaders of each of our member organisations. The Partnership Board is advised by an Expert Advisory Board which is made up of experts in various healthcare fields, including service user involvement. Supporting the work of the Partnership is a small core team that brings together a broad range of experience and skills and is responsible for the day to day management of the work of Imperial College Health Partners. The core team is accountable to our Partnership Board. In addition to our partners we work closely with local government and social care, technology and pharmaceutical industries, opinion leaders, research bodies and of course patients and the public who as the ultimate beneficiaries of our work drive everything we do.

Our work programme Over the last year, our members have kept under review the priorities for North West London and continued to assess where the Partnership can add most value and support transformational change for patients. Mental health (Psychosis) Enable discovery of best practice Research These priorities are supported by ten programmes of work, which both continue to develop work started last year and also now incorporate new projects in the areas of patient safety and research. Another project cardiovascular rehabilitation has now completed. The ten programmes are divided into those which cut across both clinical and operational areas, and those which address specific clinical needs. Neurorehabilitation Medicines optimisation Intelligent use of data The diagram opposite illustrates how these projects support delivery of our three strategic objectives. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Diffusion of best practice Patient safety Cancer Overseas development Diffusion of innovation Create prosperity projects Cross-cutting projects 5 6
