About Us

We invest in local NHS services on behalf of the 260,000 people living in Hillingdon.These include services in the community provided by GPs (doctors), nurses, dentists, opticians and pharmacists.

We work with local hospitals and specialist healthcare organisations to help provide treatment for residents who need hospital or specialist care.

We also work with Hillingdon Council to help promote good health among residents and to support vulnerable people who are eligible for social care.

We support local GPs who are due to take on more responsibility for managing local health services, as part of Government changes to the NHS.To enable this, we now have a shared management structure with neighbouring NHS Hounslowand NHS Ealing, as part of a new partnership of all eight PCTs in this part of London called NHS North West London

When you feel unwell but don't need to see a GP or nurse, visit your local pharmacy. As well as dispensing prescriptions and selling over the counter medicines, your pharmacy or chemist has a lot more to offer. Pharmacies can provide advice and treatment for minor ailments without prescription, health and lifestyle advice, and direct you to other sources of support, advice or treatment. Some pharmacies provide a free NHS Health Check for people aged 40-74.

For fast access to health advice, emergency contraception and treatment of minor ailments, infections or injuries such as cuts, strains and sprains, use a walk-in centre. Some are open from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year.
