On 14th March 2025, Newham Council and Healthwatch Newham came together for a powerful Community Safeguarding Event aimed at raising awareness and driving change across the borough.

Through active engagement, meaningful conversations, and collaboration with healthcare providers, MNVP works to amplify service user voices and drive improvements in Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, and Newham.

At Healthwatch Newham, we are dedicated to improving access to healthcare services for all residents. To support this effort, we are pleased to introduce the Patient Information Sheet, a vital resource designed to guide residents on where to go for medical care when it’s not an emergency.

The Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is a collaborative team of service users, midwives, nurses, doctors, and commissioners, working together to review and shape local maternity care across Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, and Newham. MNVP is committed to listening to the experiences and perspectives of service users from diverse communities, amplifying these voices, and co-producing with the Barts NHS Trust to improve maternity and neonatal services across all three boroughs, ultimately addressing health inequalities.

This PCG-approved information sheet provides essential details on urgent and emergency care services in Newham. It includes contact information and addresses for GP surgeries, urgent care centres, walk-in centres, and pharmacies. Stay informed and know where to go when you need medical assistance.
