The NHS Long Term Plan and You

The majority of Primary Care Networks in Luton, made up of GP Surgeries, were set up in 2019, as a response to the NHS Long Term Plan. This, together with more recent documents on Mental Health and Social Care needs of the population, required new ways of working with partner organisations and within organisations.

This change saw the blending of specialist community and statutory organisations coming together to deliver and review, care and support services to individuals in their community. It has also seen the overhaul of internal mechanisms of NHS organisations, in order to meet this necessary change. It is driven by the need to create a more joined-up, less fragmented approach to health and care, making it more personal and meaningful for the recipient with care and support needs.

This way of working with partner agencies, is less about ‘them and us,’ but more about implementing an approach which see progression in co-producing and co-delivering care and support, to the most vulnerable individuals in our community.

As a result, the successful applicant will need to work, not only autonomous but as a practitioner who honours and invites the insights and input of other disciplines/partners as part of the blended offer.
