We provide care for a population of about 750,000 people across north east London (NEL), and that number is predicted to increase by 15 per cent over the next ten years.

Our Trust serves three London boroughs with diverse populations, and more than half of our workforce identify as Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic.

In addition, eight out of every ten employees are women, and most of our workforce live within the host boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge.
