About the Organisation
Whittington Health aims to help local people live longer and healthier lives by providing safe, personal, coordinated care for the community we serve. We provide hospital and community care services to 500,000 people living in Islington and Haringey as well as other London boroughs including Barnet, Enfield, Camden and Hackney. As one organisation providing both hospital and community services, we are known as an ‘integrated care organisation’.
The Start Well programme represents a major reconfiguration of maternity, neonatal, and paediatric surgical services across North Central London (NCL), following a strategic commissioning process that spanned over three years. In March 2025, the NCL Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS England Specialised Commissioning approved the eventual closure of the maternity and neonatal unit at the Royal Free Hospital and the birthing suites at Edgware Birth Centre. This decision marks a significant milestone in the region’s healthcare transformation, positioning NCL as a leader in post‑COVID system reconfiguration.
