West London Trust are embarking on an exciting new pilot service for the winter months to strengthen and improve our oversight of flow within the acute and crisis care pathway.

Towards the review in March 24 we will work with you to understand how we can support your career within West London Trust and be able to determine if the service will continue or identify a number of roles available to consider as your follow on from this pilot service.
