Celebrating with our community
Here at Whittington Health we are proud to serve a community of over 500,000 people across North London. Our patients and service users come from a wide variety of backgrounds, life experiences, religions and cultures. This goes for our 5,000 staff too! We are honoured to celebrate and observe festivals and days of significance that are important to our communities. See below for a few snapshots from previous events.
If you are a staff member or a patient and would like to arrange a celebration of a festival or day of observance that is important to you, please contact our inclusion team by emailing whh-tr.edi@nhs.net.
