Neighbourhood health guidelines

Alongside the operational planning guidance, guidelines have been published to help integrated care boards, local authorities and health and care providers continue to progress neighbourhood health in 2025/26 in advance of the publication of the 10 Year Health Plan. All parts of the health and care system – primary care, social care, community health, mental health, acute, and wider system partners – will need to work closely together to support people’s needs more systematically, building on existing cross-team working, such as primary care networks, provider collaboratives and collaboration with the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector.
