Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust

What Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust does

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a publicly funded healthcare provider operating under the UK National Health Service, formed through NHS organisational changes and dated to 2013 in the input. It serves the populations of the London boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich through two acute hospital sites — University Hospital Lewisham (UHL) and Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich (QEH) — alongside community services and the Kaleidoscope children's centre in Catford. The Trust delivers a comprehensive portfolio of NHS services organised across hospital healthcare, children's services, maternity (including the Lewisham Birth Centre, designated a Midwifery Unit Network beacon site), emergency and urgent care, clinical support (pathology, radiology, pharmacy, therapies), community nursing and therapies, surgery and critical care, medical specialties (cancer, cardiology, diabetes, sickle cell, stroke, etc.), sexual health, and elderly care, with an explicit integrated care model spanning acute, community, and primary care pathways.

The Trust's technology backbone comprises the Oracle Population Health Management Platform, which integrates primary care (EMIS), community (RIO), acute (iCARE), and selected mental health (EPJS) datasets with daily refresh cycles to enable near-real-time population-level analytics, and participation in the London Care Record, a multi-borough interoperability platform that gives approximately 15,000 care professionals across six south-east London boroughs a unified view of patient information spanning GP, hospital, community, mental health, and social care. An internal Improvement Hub codifies a Quality Improvement culture using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Model for Improvement framework, supported by Compact QI and QI in Action training programmes and an annual Improvement Showcase event. Active Research and Development and Innovations functions ([email protected], [email protected]) manage introduction of new clinical procedures, methods, therapies, and equipment.

The Trust is wholly publicly funded: services are free at the point of use and financed through NHS allocations derived from UK general taxation and National Insurance contributions, with commissioning oversight from NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care. It is not a commercially listed entity and has no private shareholders or external equity financing. For the 2023/24 financial year the Trust reported a balanced financial position, supported by an efficiency programme that delivered approximately £35 million in direct cost savings. The Trust is geographically bound to its commissioning catchment of approximately 2 million people and operates within the broader South East London Integrated Care System.
