What are INTs

Integrated Neighbourhoods provide proactive and integrated care to communities of 30,000-50,000. They aim to keep local people well and address poor outcomes for their local population. Integrated Neighbourhoods build on the base of primary care networks, bring all parts of the workforce together and put the people at the centre of the care they receive

Funded Community Pharmacy Engagement Leads

Funding has been secured to support ten Community Pharmacy Engagement Leads aligned to the local Integrated Neighbourhoods. There are 22 Integrated Neighbourhoods so each lead will cover more than one area. The Community Pharmacy Lead will work with Clinical Directors (or designated contacts, GP practices, etc), Integrated Neighbourhood managers and community pharmacies to promote and develop integration in line with national and local priorities building strong relationships between GP practices, community pharmacies, and other neighbourhood partners, enabling and driving collaborative working to provide excellent patient care and improving patient outcomes. The leads will be managed by Community Pharmacy Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.

The ten leads have now been appointed and an induction day is scheduled for 18th August. We’ll share details of the leads once the induction is completed.
