South East conference – care closer to home – integrated neighbourhood working
On Tuesday 19 November 2024, the NHS England South East regional team, alongside NHS Confederation hosted its first regional “Care Closer to Home” conference in London. The event was attended by over 160 delegates and featured national and regional NHS policy leads, alongside representatives from integrated care boards (ICBs), local authorities (LAs), NHS providers, primary care, public health and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).
The conference created a dynamic environment where leaders from across health and social care connected around our shared vision for integrated neighbourhood care and delivering care close to home and took steps towards creating a collective vision for integrated neighbourhoods across the South East. It provided an opportunity for colleagues to collaborate with others from within their integrated care system and across the region, sharing best practice and approaches to delivery. It also provided the opportunity to discuss how to work through challenges being experienced in delivering care closer to home.
The conference is available to watch via our FutureNHS platform (this platform requires a log in).
