Integrated Neighbourhood Teams
Integrated Neighbourhood Teams bring together multi-disciplinary professionals from different organisations across health and care services. The aim is to deliver more joined up preventative care at a neighbourhood level. By sharing resources and information, the teams can work together more collaboratively to simplify and streamline access to services. This will make sure that citizens across Birmingham and Solihull get the care they need when they need it and by the right person.

Often co-located, the teams include GPs, district nursing and therapy colleagues, mental health professionals, voluntary sector, social care and other council services. They are linked to many other support organisations and services that can provide more specialist help and support if needed. In effect teams within teams.
