Ten case studies show what neighbourhood working can achieve when rehabilitation is embedded as a core part of the service.
Read the full report to discover how integrated care is helping Surrey Downs achieve the lowest social care spend in Surrey, how a Home First model in Leeds is reducing hospital admissions by more than 800 a year, and how measuring what matters in Coventry is cutting work absence for people with persistent low back pain.
The report sets out five principles for neighbourhood health systems:
- Unlock the potential of rehabilitation services in prevention and self-management
- Create a reinvestment cycle for recovery
- Invest to transform community health services as part of neighbourhoods
- Measure what matters: function, recovery and independence
- Design rehabilitation and leadership capabilities in from the start
