Integrated Neighbourhoods Teams (INTs)
The Fuller Stocktake, a report undertaken in 2022 by Dr Claire Fuller, then Chief Executive-designate Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System and GP on integrated primary care, looked at what is working well, why it’s working well and how we can accelerate the implementation of integrated primary care (incorporating the current 4 pillars of general practice, community pharmacy, dentistry and optometry) across systems.
The Fuller Stocktake report sets out a new vision for integrating primary care led by integrated neighbourhood teams. Recognising that a more streamlined and integrated model is required to serve the modern-day demands of primary care, the report identifies three essential offers:
- streamlining access to care and advice to meet the needs of infrequent users of health care services
- providing more proactive, personalised and multi-disciplinary care for people with more complex needs
- helping people to stay well for longer, through a joined-up approach to
prevention.
