Here we talk about our ambition to build strong neighbourhood teams in line with the Government’s 10-Year Health Plan and what this means for your care and your health.
Across Kent, something remarkable is happening. Health and care services are coming together in new ways – breaking down barriers, sharing information and working as one team to support people in their communities. This is the heart of our integrated neighbourhood teams (INTs) approach and it’s already changing lives.
This transformation is part of a bigger national ambition. The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan sets out a bold vision: to create neighbourhood health centres in every community, delivering joined-up, person-centred care that’s proactive, not reactive. As part of this, 42 pilot sites across England will be selected to lead the way through the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme (NNHIP).
As part of our health and care partnerships, we’re proud to share that east Kent has been chosen as one of the national ‘neighbourhood health’ pioneer sites, as announced by NHS England. But we won’t just be focusing on east Kent, we will be sharing our learning. Because it’s the right thing to do.
