Healthier communities

We will work in partnership to build strong neighbourhood-based support, that helps people stay well and reduces avoidable pressure on hospital services.

High level, 5-year ambition

• Work with partners to develop neighbourhood teams focused on prevention, early intervention and continuity of care. 

• More of our care is delivered outside of hospital settings and we have shifted resources to achieve this.

• Our services and decision making are driven by population data and insight from our communities. 

Patients will feel

• supported earlier to stay well and avoid unnecessary hospital visits 

• their care is coordinated between teams and settings

• more choice and control over how and where they receive care

TeamLGT will feel

• confident in patient-centred partnership working across primary, community, mental health and voluntary services

• supported to deliver care that improves patients’ independence and prevents patients needing a higher

• level of care or their conditions from worsening
