Over 60 members, service users, carers, staff, partners , governors and members of the public came together on Tuesday 6 October for North London NHS Foundation Trust's Annual Members' Meeting (AMM), held at the Trust's headquarters in Camden.
The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the Trust's achievements during 2025/26, discuss priorities for the year ahead and hear directly from Trust leaders about progress in improving services across north London.
A key theme throughout the meeting was the successful merger with Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and the opportunities it creates to bring together expertise in mental health, community and specialist services, alongside the Trust's strengths in education, research and innovation.
