The term neighbourhood working is used to describe a multitude of models and approaches. 

Within mental health there are community mental health teams that have been expanded through the community mental health framework, and new 24/7 neighbourhood pilots. 

In the wider system we have existing Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, national neighbourhood health implementation sites and other areas of successful multidisciplinary working at neighbourhood level.

All of these models provide an opportunity to improve the care that people with mental illness receive and to increase integration between physical and specialist mental health community services, reducing inequalities and inpatient admissions.

This webinar will explore the different forms of neighbourhood working, with senior speakers leading different models across the country outlining the opportunities and challenges in improving care for people with a mental health need at a neighbourhood level.

Attendees will hear from national and senior representatives leading different neighbourhood models and learn about the opportunities and challenges in improving care for people with a mental health need at neighbourhood level.

We are currently finalising our agenda and list of speakers, which will be completed shortly.
