NWL Health Research Register has been set up to bridge the gap in North West London between members of the public and health researchers.
To fulfil the potential of NWL Health Research Register we need to understand and address the health needs of our local population. In order to do this we work in collaboration with NHS and university partners, leading charities, patients and community groups.
Through analysing NHS health and social care data and working with our partners we are aware that the following health conditions are prominent within our population in North West London:
-Diabetes
-Cancer
-Obesity
-Depression
-Heart disease and stroke
-Asthma
-Arthritis
At the same time as addressing these and other conditions, we also acknowledge that people often suffer from multiple conditions. In addition as well as helping to improve treatment the research work we support needs to address prevention and health promotion.
North West London Health Research Register was founded by Imperial College Health Partners, a partnership of NHS organisations and universities across North West London, in association with The Scottish Health Research Register (SHARE).
