About Us
Neighbourhood Health is a movement reshaping how health and care are delivered across England. We believe that real change starts where people live, work, and connect.
The NNHIP is a transformational initiative jointly led by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England, designed to shift the focus of care from hospitals to communities, alongside the shifts from analogue to digital and from illness to prevention. It aims to improve health outcomes by addressing complex needs at a local level, especially in deprived areas where healthy life expectancy is lowest

Four Enabling Groups
Four key enabling groups underpin the programme’s success:
“Successful implementation of neighbourhood health depends on more than policy or structure. This is about supporting local teams to tackle complex, wicked problems – from reducing A&E attendance to increasing citizen agency – through relationships, governance, and data structures that work in real time. The more examples we create, the easier it is to diffuse change throughout all places."
Sir John Oldham - Strategic Advisor to Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
