Tower Hamlets Together is all about health and social care organisations working closer together to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Tower Hamlets.

This means a more coordinated approach to providing services, reducing duplication and improving the overall experience and outcomes for the patients who need them.

We’ve designed this website to help explain how Tower Hamlets Together is doing this and promote opportunities for you to get involved.
