Where we work

Our mission is to help five million people from North London to the Essex coast live longer, healthier lives.

Our region includes:

North central London
North east London
Mid and south Essex

The region we cover is home to some of the most diverse communities in Europe, as reflected in our insights platform. More than a third of our resident Londoners were born outside the UK and nearly half identify as black and minority ethnic. These communities reside in turn in varied environments, from some of the most densely populated urban districts in Europe to the rural and coastal areas of Essex. We work in some of the UK’s most deprived boroughs, where adverse environmental and socioeconomic factors drive poor health. There is measurable inequality in treatment access and health outcomes between and within our communities.

We believe our regional complexity is a strength. By bringing together insights from people with a vast array of experience, knowledge and ideas we can act upon today’s health needs and anticipate those of the future. The diversity of our population also drives us to ensure the solutions we endorse are tailored to wide range of needs, leaving no-one behind and with relevance to an array of communities across the UK and globally.
