Be Part of Something Bigger
We are an integral part of the North Central London Integrated Care System, working in collaboration with NHS and Local Authority partners. We are proud of our teaching hospital status, supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The North Middlesex University Hospital, Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust is a medium‑sized acute and community trust with over 525 beds and over 600 community staff, serving more than 600,000 people living across Enfield and Haringey and the surrounding areas, including Barnet and Waltham Forest.
In the year ending 31 March 2022, the Trust reported a turnover of £419.7m and employed almost 4,000 staff. Following the transfer of Enfield Community Services on 1st April 2023, this has increased as we have welcomed over 600 new staff including District Nurses, Community Matrons, Community Physiotherapists, Psychologists and many more across a wide range of adult and children’s community services in Enfield.
In January 2025 we joined the Royal Free group: it is an exciting time to join North Mid as we continue our journey to become an integrated care organisation to deliver high quality, seamless care in our local communities, with a focus on tackling health inequalities.
North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICs, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone statutory bodies, we have an IC infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.
