Integrated Neighbourhood Teams – Podcast 3

In the third of our podcasts about the introduction of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in the City, Nottingham GP Dr Andy Foster talks to Chris Atherton, Strategic Director of Adult Social Care and Interim Director of Adult Social Services at Nottingham City Council.

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams questionnaire

Don’t forget this podcast coincides with a questionnaire currently being run by the Nottingham City Place-Based Partnership which is asking partners and organisations across the city to come together to help design Integrated Neighbourhood Teams. The Teams bring together professionals from a wide range or services – including health, social care, mental health, community support, and voluntary organisations working side-by-side. By collaborating in this way they can provide more joined-up, effective support for local people.

The first focus for INTs in Nottingham City is supporting people with moderate to severe frailty, and we want to hear from you to shape this work. If you are a lead for your organisation, please share this questionnaire with your workforce and networks across the city.

We would like to hear your thoughts and views on:

  • What’s working well?
  • What needs to improve?
  • How can we create more joined-up, professional care?

Please complete this short questionnaire.
