We are responsible for planning and buying health services for the people of Tower Hamlets and making sure they meet the needs of local residents.
In Tower Hamlets, it’s our job to make sure that you receive high quality healthcare services whenever you need them – whether this is advice from a pharmacist or GP, a procedure in hospital, help at home through local community services, or if you need support with your mental health.
We do this by making sure all parts of the local health system work effectively together by working in collaboration with health partners, local authority and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, alongside residents, patients and service users.

Place partnerships
These partnerships bring together the NHS, local government and providers of health and social care services, including the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, residents and communities, to provide a strong understanding of what works well and what is needed by local communities. As well as the ability to integrate local services across health and care and the levers to tackle some of the wider things that impact health, such as housing and employment.
In Tower Hamlets, our place partnership – Tower Hamlets Together – brings together local health and social care organisations with a common ambition to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Tower Hamlets by ensuring that services are wrapped around residents who need them at place and at a more local ‘neighbourhood’ level through integration and primary care networks – GP practices working together in their areas.
While Tower Hamlets Together is made up of a number of different partners, we are committed to developing a shared culture which provides person-centred, coordinated care to everyone who uses our services.
The organisations that make up this partnership are:
The legacy of the Tower Hamlets Together Vanguard and greater cross-system working has given us the opportunity to think about how we can better organise ourselves and the heath and social services around the population that we serve. In order to do this and avoid duplication, the partnership developed three workstreams to bring stakeholders together from across the THT partners around the following population groups to improve health services in the following priority areas:
