Localities and Neighbourhoods is a vision of how to improve health and wellbeing, address health inequalities and prevent ill health on a locality and neighbourhood level. Integrated care, delivered in the community, will lead to people accessing care when they need it, receiving personalised care from integrated neighbourhood teams when required and where we enable people to stay well for longer.
A key component of this will be to support residents and communities to build resilience and lead their wellbeing. This will require a culture shift to an integrated, collaborative way of working, with professionals working together across organisational boundaries with the person.
