Transforming services to provide better care and a new Whipps Cross fit for the future
The Whipps Cross redevelopment presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a state-of-the-art hospital. However, the redevelopment is about more than building a new hospital.
By collaborating across primary, secondary and social care, the NHS and local councils are working together to transform services across the Whipps Cross catchment area to address the complex needs of our patients and the growing demand for healthcare.
These changes will help tackle health inequalities, provide the right care in the right place, and ensure that the new hospital is the right size and delivers the right services that meet the needs of our local population far into the future.
To achieve these ambitions, the transformation programmes that have the biggest impact on the size and scope of the new hospital have been brought together in an ‘integrated delivery framework’ (IDF). The “framework” is overseen by representatives of organisations from across the local area: NHS North East London, Barts Health NHS Trust, North East London NHS Foundation Trust, Waltham Forest Council, and Redbridge Council. NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex is also represented, recognising that residents in Loughton, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill also rely on Whipps Cross Hospital for their care.
