Integrated Worcestershire Neighbourhood Health

Scope as published

Provision of neighbourhood-based health interventions across Worcestershire designed to reduce avoidable Emergency Department attendances and non-elective hospital admissions by strengthening community, primary care and preventative pathways. Services include enhanced care-home support, falls and frailty interventions, alternative urgent-care pathways for children and young people, additional primary-care winter capacity and locally led neighbourhood initiatives. The services form part of the 2026/27 Neighbourhood Health Investment Fund programme and are being commissioned as pilot interventions, with performance assessed against activity reduction, patient outcomes and use of alternatives to acute hospital care.
