Our aims include a greater focus on prevention and wellbeing and delivering more integrated and personalised care closer to home. By working with Primary Care Networks (PCN) and local partners in each borough, NELFT propose to support plans by using a "neighbourhood" model of care to develop multi-agency, integrated and place-based care to support people with serious mental health needs to receive their care closer to home.
