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.

Neighbourhood health services and the role of social care data – 21 May 2026
Join us to explore the emerging concept of neighbourhood health and what it means in practice for social care providers.
The discussion will focus on the critical role of data and information sharing in supporting more integrated, community-based care. Speakers will highlight key challenges, opportunities, and real-world perspectives on how social care can contribute to effective data flows within neighbourhood health systems.
