Accelerating estate solutions for neighbourhood health centre delivery

The government’s 10 Year Health Plan reaffirms its commitment to delivering care closer to communities through neighbourhood health centres — modern, multipurpose facilities designed to integrate health and social care services. These centres aim to improve access, reduce health inequalities, and support productivity across the NHS. Achieving this vision requires overcoming significant challenges. This report draws on insights from engagement across NHS Confederation members, and case studies showcasing successful approaches to estate optimisation, collaborative commissioning, and cultural integration. It highlights the need for strategic alignment between service redesign and estate planning, supported by flexible funding models and strong local partnerships.
