Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is a Community health NHS trust created in 2009 by merger of the community service parts of Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster Primary Care Trusts as part of the Transforming Community Services initiative. The organisation merged with Barnet Community Services on 1 April 2011. It has plans to become a Foundation Trust but it is unclear when this may happen.
It runs the community health services for about a million people across London and Hertfordshire. It has a back-office support contract with Capita for IT, recruitment, payroll, estates and facilities management services.
It ran the Soho Square and Milne House general practices in Westminster but abandoned the loss making contracts in July 2014.
It runs a 18-bed ‘intermediate care’ ward at Charing Cross Hospital in partnership with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
It runs the St Charles' Centre for Health and Wellbeing on the site of St Charles' Hospital in Ladbroke Grove. The site is also used by Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, which provides mental health services there.
It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 2577 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.04%. 64% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 53% recommended it as a place to work.
Yvette Bynoe, who works for the Trust in West London, was awarded the title School Nurse of the Year at the Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association Awards ceremony in April 2015.
As of April 2016; CLCH has now taken over community service for Merton CCG practices.
