Our nursing community

Whittington Health is one of London’s leading Integrated Care Organisations. We have nearly 5000 staff members, of whom around 1336 are registered nurses and midwives. We provide hospital and community care services to over half a million people living in Islington and Haringey as well as to those living in Barnet, Enfield, Camden and Hackney.

 

We provided more than 40 acute and 60 community health services in 2022/23. We also provide dental services in 10 London boroughs.

 

Every day, we aim to provide high-quality and safe healthcare to people either in our hospital, in their homes, or in nearby clinics. We are here to support our patients throughout their healthcare journey.

 

We have around 250 core hospital beds (including paediatric and the Critical Care Unit) and around 40 extra beds made available to cope with winter pressures. There are 55 beds in our maternity service and 23 in NICU. Our clinical areas include an emergency department, ambulatory care, surgery, maternity services and therapy and we specialise in the care of older people. We run services from 30 community bases in Islington and Haringey.

 

Our Children and Young People Integrated Clinical Services Unit provides healthcare in the hospital, community, schools and in patients’ homes, from conception to adulthood. This service includes health visitors and school nurses and delivers tailored, personalised care to around 160 schools in our area.

 

Our community adult services include specialist care for long-term conditions, district nursing, community matrons, learning disability services and specialist community nursing.
