Leading mental health Chief Executive David Bradley has announced today (4 April 2019) that he is to take on the Chief Executive role at South London and Maudsley Mental Health Trust after several successful years at the helm of South West London and St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG).

From 1 April 2019, specialist health services for people with a learning disability in Wandsworth will be provided by South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust.

As you may be aware, we have been working to deliver first class modern mental healthcare facilities on our Springfield site. The programme, named the Estate Modernisation Programme (EMP) will deliver new hospital buildings in a community and parkland setting.

The Recovery College is holding three user engagement events in  March which are open to anyone interested in taking part. Come along and help us shape our service.

South West London and St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG) has been commissioned by Merton CCG to provide a new primary care mental health service, called Merton Uplift, which will be available from 1 April 2019.

Could you help lead the NHS in SW London? We are looking for two exceptional individuals to join our board as Non-executive directors. 

The Trust is working with South West London Health and Care Partnership to improve the way we connect care across south west London. Soon, healthcare professionals will be able to access patient records from other NHS services when they need to. This will make it quicker and easier for patients when they visit your GP or hospital.

South West London and St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust has launched a new engagement programme called  ‘Making Life Better Together.’ At its heart, the programme is about working closely with the people we serve to make our Trust a great place to work and an outstanding place to receive care.

By working with the local communities we will be able to attract local people to come and work at the Trust and can co-produce services to meet the needs of the diverse community across South West London.

We’re launching a large staff, service user and carer engagement programme. If you have recently been discharged from our care, we want to hear about your experience with us.

We have decided to make our Nursing bulletin available on our website so that people can see all the amazing work our Nurses do.

Some of the links on this bulletin will not work as they are for internal use only. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have been getting up to.

Come along and join us at our Carers’ Celebration Event; a day where we celebrate all that carers do.

As we prepare the Springfield Hospital site for the construction of our new state-of-the-art mental health facilities, it is necessary to relocate some of our services.

Building our new £100m hospital in Tooting is a once in a life time opportunity and, subject to final government approvals, we should begin construction in September 2019.

We are pleased to welcome Professor Deborah Bowman MBE as our university nominated non executive director.
