Join us for access to general practice events
We’ve been listening to your experiences of accessing general practice services in the eight boroughs we cover in north west London.
Over 100,000 people gave their views in a public survey in Autumn 2024. The survey – which was developed by NHS North West London together with local GPs and patient representatives - was aimed at all residents and patients in Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea. We have now analysed the responses and are ready to discuss the findings.
Please join us at one of our two public events on Thursday 6 February 2025 where you can find out more about what residents and your local groups told us, and what the next steps are.
Face-to-face session
This event takes place at 2.30 – 4pm at Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way Wembley, London, HA9 0FJ
