About us

The South London Mental Health and Community Partnership (SLP):

The South London Mental Health and Community Partnership (SLP) is a collaboration between Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, (Oxleas) South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, (SLaM), and South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG) between them delivering mental health services to a population of more than three million people. The partnership brings together clinical expertise, experience, and innovation, aiming to improve quality, use resources most effectively, and deliver best practice consistently to all patients. Since its inception, the SLP has been a resilient and effective partnership that has improved patient experience, introduced innovation, and developed new services across the 12 boroughs of south London.

Perinatal Programme

SLP trusts and partners have developed a business case outlining the case for delegation of the specialist inpatient budget and community budgets to a Perinatal Provider Collaborative to improve the perinatal mental health pathway for south London patients. The business case outlines the challenges faced by services across south London and that, by bringing together the knowledge and experience of clinicians and experts by experience, we can collectively solve the challenges local populations face.
