About us

*Please be aware that the coronavirus outbreak is affecting some of our services. Read more information about changes to our services during the pandemic here.*

Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) provides high quality, safe and innovative care to our patients in the community, in their homes or in hospital.

We provide services for adults of working age, adults with learning difficulties, and older people in the London area. We currently deliver the majority of our care to residents in the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington.  However, we also provide substance misuse and primary care mental health services to people living in Kingston.

Our Trust is also a member of University College London Partners (UCLP), one of the world’s leading academic health science partnerships.

In addition we  have specialist programmes which provide help and treatment for:

• Veterans living in London
• Young people caught in the cycle of gang culture
• Perinatal mental health conditions

We are proud that our organisation is recognised internationally for the quality of its research and innovation.  Over 40% of our consultants hold joint academic posts and are engaged in research across a wide range of mental health arenas.  This research, often conducted with the help of our patients, ensures we are leaders in evidence based treatment and services, meaning we can provide some of the world's most up to date therapies to aid service user recovery.

We are a lead provider for educational placements in north London, and work in partnership with local universities to deliver both education and research projects as well as creating together the workforce of the future.  This provides a great environment for our staff to innovate and deliver projects which transform patient care.
