Integrated Neighbourhood Teams

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams: Connecting Care, Improving Lives


Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are at the forefront of the NHS’s vision for joined-up, community-based care. By bringing together GPs, nurses, social care, mental health professionals, and voluntary sector partners, INTs deliver holistic, person-centred support—right where people live.


What Are Integrated Neighbourhood Teams?


INTs are multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively within local communities to:


  • Coordinate care around the individual: Breaking down barriers between health, social care, and community services.
  • Proactively support people with complex needs: Using data and local knowledge to identify and help those who need it most.
  • Empower people to stay well: Focusing on prevention, self-care, and early intervention.
  • Build strong community partnerships: Involving voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in care delivery.


How EMIS Web Enables Integrated Neighbourhood Teams


EMIS Web is a powerful platform for connecting professionals and sharing information across organisational boundaries. Here’s how it supports INTs:


  • Shared Care Records: EMIS Web enables real-time access to patient records for all authorised team members, ensuring everyone has the information they need to deliver safe, coordinated care.
  • Integrated Communication: Secure messaging and task management features streamline collaboration between GPs, nurses, social care, and community partners.
  • Population Health Management: Advanced reporting tools help teams identify at-risk individuals, monitor outcomes, and target interventions where they’re needed most.
  • Interoperability: EMIS Web connects with other NHS systems (e.g., GP Connect, NHS App, SystmOne), supporting seamless information flow across the neighbourhood.
