One shared plan

The integrated neighbourhood team

Margaret’s plan starts empty. Her integrated neighbourhood team is around her.

The practice nurse sets a goal. Community Wellbeing Services add a weight programme.

Her link worker adds a local service. The clinical pharmacist adds a reminder.

A VCSE partner adds a walking group. The GP joins, and referrals pass round one shared plan.

One shared plan. The whole neighbourhood team behind it.

What Margaret sees: one joined-up plan.
