Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs)
Councils are currently developing integrated neighbourhood teams and defining their geographical areas to coordinate local health and social care.
In September 2026, Merton's Healthier Communities and Older People Overview and Scrutiny Panel discussed the development of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs), while Greenwich's Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Panel considered updates on INTs. Southwark is also developing integrated health teams, known as Partnership Southwark, to provide accessible and coordinated care, as presented in July 2026 by Strategic Director Darren Summers.
Brent's Health and Wellbeing Board discussed proposed changes to NHS neighbourhood health geographies in September 2026, which are crucial for INTs. Kensington and Chelsea's Joint Health & Wellbeing Board also discussed the evolving role of Health and Wellbeing Boards in shaping neighbourhood health in May 2026. Additionally, Barking and Dagenham endorsed a new strategy in July 2026 to transform health system partnerships, including collaboration with the VCFSE sector.
Integrated Neighbourhood Teams bring together health and social care professionals to deliver coordinated services within specific local areas, aiming to improve community-based care. No upcoming council meetings are currently listed with this topic on their agenda.
