Five Elements

purpose60

NNHIP Wave 1 covers the registered population. It does not cover the daytime workforce. Whose plan is this?

place90

Borough boundary porous to the airport. The neighbourhood ends where the workforce returns home, not where the council ends.

habitat70

Mixed estate. Operational built form, distribution warehouses, post-war housing, Colne Valley wetland mosaic.

environment95

Air quality breaches WHO PM2.5 along the A4 and Bath Road. Night flights drive shift-worker sleep disruption.

organisation55

Five named responsibility-bearers across three jurisdictions. No single role owns the workforce health artefact.

The two seats

Every NNHIP site has, by NHS design, two dominant commissioner seats. Hillingdon × Heathrow names both explicitly.

Acute seat

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust plus Heathrow Travel Care. Holds A&E presentation patterns, occupational respiratory load, and the social-work duty of care at the airport. The hospital closest to the runway.

GP federation seat

Confederation Hillingdon CIC (42 practices) plus the Hillingdon Director of Public Health and the NW London ICB Inequalities Lead. Holds the registered population, the 2032 trajectory commitments, and the cross-borough inequalities route.
