NHS North East London plans for Winter

Winter is a time of increased pressure as cold weather affects people with existing health conditions and illnesses like flu and Covid-19 spread.  As an integrated care system, NHS North East London are continuously working to build up resilience and plan for how to respond to periods of increased demand.

As part of this work, there is a new system coordination centre approach involves hospitals, GPs, the London Ambulance Service, community care, and others, and is focused on keeping people well this winter; helping people get the right treatments in the right place earlier; be seen more quickly in an emergency; and get home again promptly when they have had to be admitted to hospital.
