At the North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) we provide integrated mental health services to the people of North Central London living in the boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington, as well as some services regionally and nationally.

We employ more than 5000 staff, which makes us one of the largest employers in our area. Last year, in the North part of the Trust (previously known as Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS Mental Health Trust) we supported more than 134,952 people; approximately 2,312 patients and service users on our wards and over 132,640 in the community. In 2021-22 our budgeted expenditure was £393 million. We provide our services to children, adults, and older people from over 20 sites. We support people to overcome the hurdles they face with their health and wellbeing. We support them to get back into the community and to live as independently as they can. We aim to give people the skills they need to look after themselves with our support in the community. When they need a higher level of care, we provide that on our wards. The adolescent ward is based at Edgware Community Hospital and is called the Beacon General Adolescent Unit. The CYPMH home treatment team that serves the 5 boroughs is based at St Ann’s Hospital and is an alternative for inpatient admission.
