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.
