Across England, a new programme is reshaping how health, care, housing, and community support come together on the street where you live. Not as a reorganisation. As a neighbourhood learning to look after itself, with the system organised around it rather than the other way round.
What the Neighbourhood Health Programme means for your life, your family, and your street. Scroll to see the map, meet your neighbours, walk through a Tuesday, and look ahead to five years from now.
For thirty years, the NHS has been organised around the national level: big hospitals, big commissioning, big IT. What NNHIP does is rebuild care from the ground up, at the scale of around 40,000 people who share a place, streets, schools, transport, and life.
A team of people (GPs, nurses, social workers, mental-health practitioners, housing officers, community workers, and residents themselves) are organised around your neighbourhood, not around their buildings. They know each other, they talk to each other, and they do the work together, so you don't have to tell your story seventeen times.
The three things it's trying to change:
This is a stylised picture of an ordinary neighbourhood. Click any place to see what the programme changes there. Every real site will look different, but the eight places below appear in every neighbourhood, somewhere.
These are composite portraits, not real individuals, but shaped by thousands of real people across the Wave 1 neighbourhoods. Click any card to see their five-year arc.
A single Tuesday in the neighbourhood, following Amina (34, two children, anxiety, precarious housing). On the left: how it used to go. On the right: how it goes once the neighbourhood model has matured. Same person. Different system around her.
The same 3–5 year arc seen three ways: as a timeline of year-by-year milestones, as capability curves maturing on different slopes, and as a money-to-outcomes flow showing how investment becomes lives changed.
Six capabilities NNHIP has to mature. Each matures on a different curve. Bars show the 0–5 level we expect each year, for a well-run site.
Each site has a public brief: programme phase, Five Elements scoring, NNHIP scorecard, evidence sources, and the round-1 issue plan. No named individuals, no engagement state.
