Newham Council is implementing a neighbourhood health approach to tackle health inequalities and bring care closer to residents.

Newham Council is implementing a neighbourhood health approach, a community-based model of care, to address health inequalities and improve access to services for vulnerable communities. This initiative, focusing on prevention and bringing care closer to residents' homes, was discussed at a Health and Wellbeing Board meeting in June 2026.

The approach brings together partners from the NHS, the London Borough of Newham, and the voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector. It also involves the establishment of Locality Leadership Teams and an emerging model of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
