Neighbourhood Working brings together the health, care and voluntary sectors within a primary care network footprint, to improve population health outcomes and deliver person centred care and support.
Neighbourhood working is about working together with each individual person, to identify who and what matters to them, and recognising in partnership what could be done to help keep local people safe, well and happy in their own homes. Consent will always be requested before discussing and exploring each person’s individual requirements.
The benfits of Neighbourhood working include:
- Helping professionals to connect to local services in accordance with identified needs
- Helping professionals to share information more easily
- Providing information and co-ordinating care via Multi-Disciplinary Review Meetings
