This guide provides a comprehensive view of the HVLC programme and is intended to support NHS region and system leaders in your understanding and communication of the programme, and to enable the development of your local HVLC delivery plans.

This programme was developed in a true partnership with the London region and, as it is rolled out nationally, will be
regionally-led, system-delivered and GIRFT-enabled.
