NMUH is a provider of specialist services for patients with sickle cell disease, thalassemia's, and other inherited anaemia's. Comprehensive care is provided by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). The service provides care for patients locally (Enfield and Haringey, parts of Barnet). As a specialist commissioned service it also provides outreach and specialist care to linked providers within the boundaries of the Haemoglobinopathy clinical network. This includes assessment, screening and treatment of patients from Hertfordshire and the East of England including Harlow Cambridge, Peterborough, Suffolk and Norfolk.



North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system - consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS's, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.



We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George's University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
