NHS LPP is a membership organisation hosted by, but independent of, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, founded, governed and funded by NHS organisations.

Now, more than ever before, it is vital that every NHS penny is spent wisely to maintain, redesign and improve health care.

Working with our members, we support the NHS to make the most of its purchasing power, maximise investment in patient care and optimise use of medicines to gain best value for money spent on them by the NHS in London.

We facilitate and support collaboration between our member acute, mental health, community and primary care provider and commissioning organisations.

We are committed to helping them achieve their objectives and enable innovation, increased efficiency, improved patient outcomes and value for money and reduced clinical risk.

By supporting collaboration, we currently save the NHS more than £2.5m every week. Our members have saved the NHS a total of more than £1bn since we were formed in 2006.
