Welcome to NHS Greenwich and Greenwich Community Health Services, the new names for Greenwich Teaching PCT (GTPCT).
NHS Greenwich is the lead organisation for the NHS in the borough - responsible for commissioning healthcare services for local people. Our aims over the next five years are to significantly improve health and reduce health inequalities across Greenwich and that local people will feel positive about the care and support they get from the services we commission.
Greenwich Community Health Services provides a range of primary and community health services by directly employing clinical staff (nurses, therapists, doctors and dentists) and support staff. Our aim is to reduce health inequalities and deliver high quality, efficient, effective and responsive services that optimise the health and well-being of people in Greenwich.
