Current Landscape and Challenges
The future of NHS care depends on building stronger, more integrated neighbourhood services that deliver the right care, in the right place, at the right time. The transition from a hospital-centred model to proactive, community-based care represents a fundamental transformation in how health and care services are organised, accessed and delivered. With the Neighbourhood Health Framework and the NHS 10-Year Health Plan setting the direction, Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are central to improving access, reducing health inequalities, preventing avoidable hospital admissions and supporting people to remain healthier for longer.
Delivering this ambition requires more than structural change. NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), local authorities, primary care, community services and voluntary and community partners must develop the capabilities, workforce confidence, operational frameworks and collaborative approaches needed to make neighbourhood health work in practice. As services move towards same-day access, outpatient diversion, proactive care management and digitally enabled pathways, the priority is to translate national ambitions into sustainable local delivery.
Summit Focus
NHTeams 2027 is designed for professionals responsible for developing, implementing and improving integrated neighbourhood services. Delegates will explore practical frameworks for establishing effective INTs, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, redesigning pathways, strengthening partnership working and using data to identify and manage population health needs.
Through hands-on Skill Clinics, Lessons Learned Sessions and action-driven case studies, participants will gain practical insight into how neighbourhood models can be implemented, adapted and sustained. Senior NHS and system leaders will share the challenges, setbacks and course corrections behind their transformation journeys, helping delegates understand not only what successful neighbourhood health looks like, but how to achieve it within the realities of local service delivery.
This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
- Integrated Neighbourhood Team Development: Strengthening multidisciplinary working, shared leadership and workforce collaboration and Productivity Technologies.
- Proactive Care and Prevention: Developing personalised pathways for priority populations and complex needs.
- Same-Day Access and Outpatient Transformation: Expanding community-based care, reducing avoidable hospital admissions, supporting discharge, and relieving A&E and elective pressure through neighbourhood delivery models.
- Digital Integration and Population Health Management: Using data, shared care plans and interoperable systems to improve coordination.
- Digital Enablement of Neighbourhood Care: Deploying platforms that support virtual wards, remote monitoring, digital triage, shared care records and cross-team coordination.
- Neighbourhood Health Centre Development and Estate Repurposing: Designing, developing and repurposing existing infrastructure into modern neighbourhood health centres that support integrated care, improve access and reduce reliance on acute hospital settings.
