Sefton and St Helens have welcomed the national lead for the Neighbourhood Health Programme, to see how they\u2019re leading the way in bringing better care closer to home and improving people\u2019s experience and outcomes. <\/p>\n

Both Places were announced as neighbourhood health \u2018pioneers\u2019<\/a> in September 2025.<\/p>\n

During her visit on Thursday 15 January, Dr Bakhai visited the St Helens South Community Hub in Clock Face, which brings a range of one-to-one services together under one roof. She also heard about Sefton\u2019s work on frailty, children and young people, those with complex lives, as well as targeted work to support those with dementia in Netherton.<\/p>\n

A key priority of the recently-published 10 Year Health Plan, the neighbourhood programme will transform health by moving services from hospitals into communities, integrating health and social care teams and supporting people with complex needs and improving access to healthcare.<\/p>\n

Sarah Alldis, Sefton Council\u2019s Executive Director of Adult Social Care, Health and Wellbeing, said: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
