The government’s Neighbourhood Health Framework sets out a new direction for delivering care closer to home, with services organised around local neighbourhoods.
The framework – published in March 2026 – makes clear that neighbourhood health “won’t be deliverable without the NHS, local authorities and other partners working together.”
This reinforces the role of social care in prevention, community-based support, and reducing hospital and care home admissions.
Throughout May 2026, we will be exploring what this means for adult social care – and in particular what it means for data sharing and digital developments.
Details of our webinars and articles coming soon.
