Neighbourhood Health: From Strategy to Reality

Neighbourhood health is a key enabler of the NHS 10 Year Plan’s three strategic shifts and technology is expected to play a crucial role in its' success.

1. Moving care from hospitals into communities
2. Switching from analogue to digital
3. From sickness to prevention. 

As a result, it is becoming a central focus as the NHS moves towards more preventative, proactive models of care delivered closer to home. ICBs are increasingly expected to use joined-up data, population health management and digital innovation to identify people earlier, reduce pressure on acute services and enable neighbourhood teams to deliver more coordinated, personalised care within local communities.

But what does effective neighbourhood health look like in practice - and how are systems already delivering measurable impact?

Join our webinar to hear how the Northamptonshire Care Record and population health insights are supporting a shift towards more proactive, neighbourhood-based care. Matthew Hutton, Digital Lead at Integrated Care Northamptonshire will explain how connecting data across health and care settings has helped teams to identify patients earlier, coordinate interventions more effectively and support people within community and primary care settings before needs escalate into crisis. Matthew will also discuss how this approach is improving clinical decision-making, reducing duplication and helping deliver more personalised, preventative care at scale.
