Great to see this published today. Summarising much of what has been said already with our 'take' on it and showing where members are already leading the way.
The NHS is shifting gears – putting neighbourhood health services front and centre to focus on prevention and community care.
Our latest long read explains what this means and why it matters.

Last year we supported 11 teams working at the interface between primary and secondary care to improve processes for local people.
We've now published reflections and learning from the teams involved, including recommendations for others and examples of good practice.
