Trailblazer sites chosen to pave the way for neighbourhood health
Lewisham Health and Care Partnership and the Healthier Greenwich Partnership have been selected as Trailblazer sites to join the first wave of testing a new approach to funding neighbourhood health.
Trailblazer is challenging health and social care systems and partnerships to innovate more joined up care solutions which align to the national NHS 10-Year-Health Plan ambitions for prevention, keeping people well in their communities, and offering care close to home.
Locally in Greenwich and Lewisham, the focus will be on developing joined-up models of care covering long term conditions, frailty and end of life care, as well as cancer, that build on the work of existing Integrated Neighbourhood Teams.
This work will be run within programmes already underway, aiming to test and learn what can happen locally, and where possible, to share learning nationally of what works across a larger scale.
Oxleas is one of around a dozen core health and social care partners who will work together on a social investment partnership model to explore new ways of funding preventative approaches to improve outcomes for residents and reduce future demand on public services.
The next stage is a six-month development period to draft and finalising robust business cases to support the approach and secure investment.
