The NHS North Central London Neurodevelopmental Programme (0–18) was celebrated at the HSJ Digital Awards ceremony last night, after being shortlisted in the Empowering Patients through Digital category.

The Programme was recognised for its work to improve access to trusted information and support for children and young people with autism and ADHD across North Central London. A key part of this has been the development of a dedicated online ‘waiting room’, helping families easily find reliable information, local services and practical guidance.

This work brings together partners from across the system, including Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Whittington Health NHS Trust, and NHS North Central London.

While the team did not take home the award on the night, being shortlisted from a highly competitive field - with nearly 600 entries and 201 shortlisted projects - is a fantastic achievement and shows what strong partnership working can achieve.

It was an inspiring evening and a real honour to see this work recognised nationally. This achievement reflects the strong collaboration, shared commitment and collective effort of all partners involved in supporting children and families across North Central London - Asia Bhatti (Programme Manager)

Thank you and well done to everyone involved, including colleagues from NLFT such as Jasmine Sales, Emma-Louise Proctor, Lauren Cunningham, Asia Bhatti, Sisa Moyo and Anna Picciotto. Your work continues to make a real difference for children, young people and families across North Central London.
