London’s NHS mental health trusts have agreed a shared plan to reduce, and often avoid, the need for people in mental health crisis to go to A&E. Speaking to the Health Service Journal (HSJ), our Chief Executive, Claire Murdoch, called it a “major milestone for the mental health sector”.

The North London Forensic Collaborative (NLFC) welcomed clinicians, researchers and partners from across England, to its Weight Management and Health Promotion in Forensic Services Conference on Friday 8 May 2026, hosted at St Pancras Hospital and virtually. 

We're supporting Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, which takes place from 11–17 May. This year’s theme, Action, encourages people to take practical steps to support better mental health and wellbeing. Throughout the week, CNWL is encouraging colleagues, patients and communities to take positive actions — whether that’s checking in on others, seeking support, prioritising self-care or starting open conversations about mental health. The campaign highlights how small actions can make a meaningful difference in reducing stigma, improving wellbeing and creating supportive communities.

Here at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) we recognise the importance of how the NHS uses data and what it means to patients and the public. We also understand and support the principles of clarity and reassurance about security, confidentiality, transparency, and ethics.
