Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust is committed to our vision of ‘better health for life’ for our patients and communities through improving inequities in health and care. In order to achieve this, we are focused on our role as an anchor institution, working with our partners and delivering on our Health and Equity Framework. Your visit to St Mary’s Hospital and the surrounding area will enable participants to experience some of the work we are doing, share learning and foster discussions amongst healthcare workers, patients and those with lived experience.

Participants will start at St Mary’s Hospital Paddington, based in North Westminster. St Mary’s is situated in one of the most deprived areas of London with communities facing the sharpest end of health inequalities, including a life expectancy gap of almost 20 years between some residents. The day will start with an overview of the trust strategy, followed by a walking tour of the local community which will bring to life our redevelopment plans for St Mary’s Hospital and introduce people to our new initiatives including the new Life Sciences partnership, digital collaboration space, and a number of community spaces and organisations. We will come back to hear from some of the individual projects being supported, and have a chance to discuss and reflect together.
