Harrow Primary Care Executive Group (PCEG) is established as a group of the NHS North West London Integrated Care Board (NWLICB).
In keeping with the commitment to maintain and enhance primary care locally, as much business as possible will be transacted at NHS NW London borough level.
PCEG’s role is to oversee the development of primary care at a place based level, ensuring that NW London and national requirements are delivered and assurance provided through both the place based governance arrangements (where a decision impacts only the local geography) and the NW London Local Care governance arrangements (where more than one geography is impacted).
Find out more about the Harrow PCEG and how to join our meetings in public.
The Harrow Citizen Health Forum is held every quarter. It is a public meeting, open to all Harrow residents. Each meeting features a panel made up of Harrow borough leaders from the NHS, GPs, the local authority (council), Public Health.
