Thriving Nottingham

In Nottingham, we are seeing successful examples of neighbourhood working:

Grassroots approach: Working closely with communities and supporting local people to help design services that reflect what is needed in their area.

NHS approach: Strengthening how community health services, hospitals and social care work together to provide joined‑up, proactive support.

Community‑led approach: Led by residents rather than professionals, often at a very small local level. People are supported to focus on what matters most to them, build on local strengths and improve wellbeing together.

Local government approach: Bringing services together to support individuals and families facing poverty, exclusion or complex social issues, recognising that health is shaped by much more than healthcare alone.

These approaches often overlap, with work frequently bringing together the NHS, local government and community part.
