Introducing the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams Community of Practice Integrated Neighbourhood Teams – a core component of Neighbourhood Health Service The UK Government has launched a bold new phase in health reform by initiating the Neighbourhood Health Service, a key component of the 10-Year Health Plan. Neighbourhood Health is seen as a foundational enabler for delivering outcomes-based, Integrated Health Organisation (IHO) models of care. In the more immediate term, Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are a key delivery mechanism for scaling Neighbourhood Health - multi-disciplinary teams that provide
proactive, planned, and responsive care based on population needs. Using a Community of Practice to accelerate the impact of INTs
Partners in Care and Health, NHS Providers and Newton are bringing together their skills and experience to offer a national, sector-led Community of Practice to facilitate Place teams to develop and accelerate models of on-the-ground delivery of INTs.
What will be distinct about the Community of Practice The programme will be practical and implementation-centric, fully focused on INTs; Content will be guided by its members, supported by expert insights, focusing on the topics that participants most value; Potential insights and solutions will be tested and co-produced with the group before being shared with the sector as a whole; Mutual honesty and collaboration will be at the heart of the programme, enabling genuine learning and application What will be involved The 6-9 month programme will include: Monthly virtual enabling touchpoints: discussing progress, barriers, solutions and next steps regularly, enabling practical progress Bimonthly in person collaboration sessions: 3x away day sessions to co-develop solutions that will have the greatest collective impact 1:1 Coaching & Leadership Sessions as needed for each system, with key points of contact dependent on the system
GET INVOLVED
How local systems/leaders will benefit from taking part Participating areas will receive peer support to help accelerate the on-the ground delivery of INTs. Places will also contribute to the development of materials to be shared across the sector - real life examples of turning national guidance into local models and a consistent evidence base for implementing INTs at scale. Who the Community of Practice is open to Expressions of interest can be made by Places or Systems (adopting a common approach), sponsored by the senior leader(s) accountable for neighbourhood delivery. Each participating Place/System will be asked to identify 2-4 consistent members from across health and care (made up of those leading on delivery of INTs locally) to join the Community of Practice. Participants will be those responsible for making INTs a reality in their local area – close enough to delivery to enact change, and with the seniority to influence system partners.
Members may come from: Primary Care Acute and Secondary Care
Adult Social Care Community Care Mental Health VCFSE
Places will be offered to 10-15 Places/ Systems. Complementing national support This Community of Practice is intended to complement the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme (NNHIP). It will focus on practical delivery and on accelerating the impact of INTs on the ground, aiming to address operational challenges and share learning to support the scaling-up of INTs across the sector.
