Let’s connect and talk about neighbourhoods

Nottingham City Place Based Partnership has launched a Linkedin group dedicated to bringing together everyone who is involved or interested in Nottingham’s journey as it participates in the first wave of the National Neighbourhood Implementation Programme (NNHIP).

The Nottingham Neighbourhood Health Group is a forum in which to share ideas, updates, and best practice as the city leads the way in trialling new neighbourhood systems for health and care delivery.

Ciara Stuart, Nottingham City Place-Based Partnership Assistant Director, said: “The group has only been running for a few short weeks and already we have almost 200 people who have joined and are getting involved in conversations about shaping the future of neighbourhood health.

“Over the next few months we’ll be sharing updates of our NNHIP projects and milestones, and giving examples of what’s working well in local communities.

“The Nottingham Neighbourhood Health Group is a great online forum with opportunities to connect with colleagues, partners, and community members driving change.”

Nottingham was chosen alongside 42 other areas by the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to participate in the first wave of the NNHIP.

While NNHIP does not come with new funding, it provides access to valuable resources including a dedicated national coach, subject matter experts, three regional workshops, and a knowledge hub for peer-to-peer learning.

The implementation of Neighbourhood Health Services is expected to support government ambitions to shift care delivery away from hospital settings, make better use of digital tools instead of traditional analogue processes, and shift the focus from treating sickness to preventing it.

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?

Nottingham City to be at forefront of plans to transform neighbourhood health

Nottingham City has been chosen alongside 42 other areas by the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to participate in the first wave of the National Neighbourhood Implementation Programme (NNHIP).

Led by the Nottingham City Place-Based Partnership, partners will trial new neighbourhood systems for health and care delivery. The programme, which will eventually be rolled out across the country, will initially focus on supporting adults living with multiple long-term conditions.

While NNHIP does not come with new funding, it will provide access to valuable resources including a dedicated national coach, subject matter experts, three regional workshops, and a knowledge hub for peer-to-peer learning.

The implementation of Neighbourhood Health Services is expected to support government ambitions to shift care delivery away from hospital settings, make better use of digital tools instead of traditional analogue processes, and shift the focus from treating sickness to preventing it.

Amanda Sullivan, Chief Executive of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board said: “This is fantastic news for Nottingham and the Nottingham City Place-Based Partnership.

“Being accepted onto the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme, means Nottingham will be at the forefront of testing and shaping new neighbourhood systems.

“It will provide access to valuable resources which will help us strengthen our neighbourhood approach and establish Neighbourhood Health Services that will deliver the best health and care services for people living in Nottingham.”

Cllr Helen Kalsi, Nottingham City Council’s Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Health, said: “Neighbourhood health is a central part of the Government’s ambition for the future of health and care. By moving more care into community settings rather than hospitals we enable easier access to services.

“Making better use of digital tools lifts the administrative burden off staff, freeing up more time for clinical care, and shifting the focus from treating sickness to preventing it builds an all -round healthier society.

“Through this programme, we will work with national teams to test neighbourhood health systems, particularly to support adults living with multiple long-term conditions.”
