We are delighted to announce our interim chief executive, Professor Oliver Shanley OBE, has formally taken up his role with NELFT.

We are currently experiencing disruption to our phlebotomy service situated at the Victoria Centre, Petits Lane, Romford. This service will be closed at 1230 on Tues 23 July.

The Brighter Futures, Healthy Families 0-19 Service have worked in partnership with Dilkes Academy to develop a universal healthy lifestyle programme for primary school aged children. As part of this, representatives from education, public health, and NELFT attended the launch of the 'physical activity' mission at Dilkes Academy on Monday 8 July and joined children, parents and school staff in their ‘Mount Everest Expedition’.

Thousands more school children and young people in Kent could benefit from the innovative mental health support team’s initiative that is being rolled-out nationally to help support young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health in schools.

NELFT was recognised on the NIHR league table amongst other London Trusts, for offering pioneering studies for record numbers of NHS patients that are being enrolled for clinical trials.
