Transforming community care

Our vision is to have a high quality, community-centred health and care system by 2035. To do this we need to transform care in the community, transform care in our hospitals, improve the quality of our services and make better use of resources.

The primary goal for community services transformation is to make sure everyone has equity of access to services which keep them healthier for longer and out of hospital where at all possible. We will focus on three areas: 

Creating healthy communities: we want to connect people to other people in their local communities, as well as services available from local partners and groups, activities and events. We want people to take control of their health and wellbeing. 

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams: we want to bring together health and care teams and professionals, as well as the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector to improve care for neighbourhood populations. A team of teams, sharing information and resources to improve health and wellbeing by tackling health inequalities. 

Enhanced care in the community: we want to offer support which allows people to recover and increase their independence at home or as close to home as possible. This will bring together care teams to support people with physical care needs, crisis services, home-based and bed-based support.
