Get involved

The forum is a space where local communities and service users can get involved, feel valued and contribute to creating shared solutions and visions for the new Whipps Cross Hospital.  

Working with the Barts Public Health Team and other partners, the Community Forum is striving to ensure that we use our resources to invest in our local communities.Our aim is to ensure that the work we’re doing has a positive impact on the local community and service users. The forum gives you a unique opportunity to shape the future Whipps Cross for generations to come. It consists of member organisations from across the Whipps Cross Catchment area including: the Community Engagement Action Group, Whipps Cross Patient Panel, Healthwatch Redbridge, Healthwatch Waltham Forest, Redbridge CVS, TELCO - Citizens UK, Carers First Waltham Forest, Waltham Forest Young Advisers, North East London NHS, Waltham Forest Council, and Epping Forest District Council.
