We are the North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) providing high-quality mental health care to local people across the London Boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.

Previously two separate mental health trusts working in Partnership – Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust – we formally merged and became the new NLFT on Friday 1 November.

As the new NLFT, our ambition is to be a leading NHS mental health provider and to offer consistently excellent care across North London.

Most of our services are based in the community, but we also provide inpatient mental health services in hospitals. We provide a wide range of local services for people across North London and more specialist mental health services for a broader population.

Our services support people throughout their entire lives, from birth to old age, helping those with all types of mental health conditions to live as independently and as well as they can.

As the NLFT we are a strong and influential voice for mental health to ensure that everyone gets the most appropriate care, when they need it - wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. We provide 24/7 support for local people in a mental health crisis and if inpatient care is needed, we admit to one of our beds locally, so our service users are as close as possible to their family and friends. As the new NLFT, we now have one Electronic Patient Record system across all our services, helping us improve the quality of care for local people.

We employ almost 6,000 staff and are working hard to make sure they feel valued and are supported to develop their careers and to stay with us as long as possible.

As the NLFT, we are committed to ensuring Better Mental Health, Better Lives and Better Communities across North London.
