Keynote Presentation - Delivering a Neighbourhood Hub in York (Confirmed)
This project demonstrates delivery of some of the key recommendations of the Fuller Report from an estates perspective.
NHS Property Services partnered with ICB, GP Federation, PCNs, Acute and Mental Health Trusts to reuse underutilised healthcare space and to support creation of a neighbourhood hub.
The facilities benefit 22,000 patients who will receive an enhanced range of services near to where they live. Social prescribing and the community café is being used by a wide range of services and charities and allows local people to create support networks and potentially reduce loneliness and social isolation.
The range of services offered continues to expand and a second site development is now being considered.
