Imperial College Health Partners (ICHP) is a partnership organisation bringing together NHS providers of healthcare services, across our local Integrated Care System (ICS) and universities across North West London. We have been designated by NHS England as the health innovation network (HIN) for North West London, and we are one of 15 HINs across England which make up The Health Innovation Network.
We were created by the NHS to support complex change across the health and care sector - innovating and collaborating for a healthier population.
The NW London Research & Innovation Board - made up of senior representatives from across all ICS organisations, academic institutions, and R&I bodies - has established that, to have more impact through innovation, the work we undertake together needs to focus on a smaller number of priorities. Working collaboratively on these priorities, aligned with the wider NW London strategy , is where collective effort can lead to bigger gains. This defined and deliberate portfolio of innovation projects are known as the NW London Missions. These have been identified as:
Optimising care of long-term conditions (starting with CVD)
Enabling more days at home
Supporting children and young people’s mental health
As the innovation arm of the NW London ICS, ICHP has been commissioned to facilitate the coordination and collaboration of this Mission-led model.

Lead the overall organisational development in terms of culture, operating model, and people of ICHP to ensure it has the capacity and capability to fulfill its purpose.
