Mid Essex Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs)

INTs are primarily about existing teams working together in a more coordinated and purposeful way, delivering a person-centred, all age approach to health and care.

 

Mid Essex is split into 6 Neighbourhood Teams ensuring that they are equitable in terms of complexity, relative demand for services and population sizes. The 6 Neighbourhood Teams are as follows:

 

  • Braintree North

  • Braintree South

  • Maldon North, Chelmsford East & Witham

  • Chelmsford Outer

  • Chelmsford Central

  • Maldon Central, Dengie & South Woodham

 

Each of the 6 Neighbourhood Teams bring together local representatives from across the health and care system alongside voluntary organisations & local authorities to improve the health and wellbeing of residents in their communities. As a member of a local Neighbourhood Team, individuals will be joining a Community of Practice, where they can access a broad range of expertise and support combined with improved inter-organisational relationships.

 

If you are interested to find out more about the Neighbourhood approach in Mid Essex, please consider completing a one page bio form to give consent to collate your details and add them to the Mid Essex Neighbourhoods distribution list.
