Our Partnership includes representation
from academia, primary and community

Currently we have 21 partner organisations,

Imperial College Health Partners is guided by our
values of focusing on the needs of patients and our
local population. We are committed to building a
culture of collaboration with a wide group of partners
and we are driven by the principle of inclusiveness
and equality which is reflected in our governance
structure, membership, and way of working with wider
stakeholders.

We are governed by our Partnership Board which
sets the work plan for the Partnership and comprises
the leaders of each of our member organisations.
The Partnership Board is advised by an Expert
Advisory Board which is made up of experts in various
healthcare fields, including service user involvement.
Supporting the work of the Partnership is a small
core team that brings together a broad range of
experience and skills and is responsible for the day
to day management of the work of Imperial College
Health Partners. The core team is accountable to our
Partnership Board.
In addition to our partners we work closely with
local government and social care, technology and
pharmaceutical industries, opinion leaders, research
bodies and of course patients and the public – who as
the ultimate beneficiaries of our work drive everything
we do.

support delivery of our three strategic objectives.
Mental health

These priorities are supported by ten programmes of
work, which both continue to develop work started
last year and also now incorporate new projects in the
areas of patient safety and research. Another project
– cardiovascular rehabilitation – has now completed.
The ten programmes are divided into those which cut
across both clinical and operational areas, and those
which address specific clinical needs.
