About us
South East London has a history of collaborative working amongst partner organisations and this approach was further developed in summer 2019 when South East London (SEL) was designated a Wave 3 Integrated Care System.
As part of the continued development of the SEL ICS, the three acute providers in SEL - Guys and St Thomas', Kings College Hospital and Lewisham and Greenwich - have chosen to work together more closely. In April 2020, the acute providers established the SEL Acute Provider Collaborative (APC) as the vehicle for their closer collaboration.
The purpose of the APC is to strengthen a system approach to addressing fundamental challenges faced by the acute providers, working together to develop solutions alongside other system partners. The APC reports into the Committee in Common of the three Trust Boards and to the ICS Leadership group, recognising that the collaborative is a key part of the wider SEL system. A number of clinical networks have been established or are in development within the Acute Provider Collaborative. These networks have clinical leadership and are focused on improving patient outcomes, making the most effective use of system capacity and recovering system performance.
