How can I work with my nearby NHS and public health services to support service delivery?

We know that having support of the NHS locally can really help with the success of the service. 

Examples from the first wave of this service offer, included library services linking with public health and blood pressure checks and vaccinations being offered through the library; linking with the blood and transfusion service; linking with local primary care to run drop-in sessions; linking with the integrated care board to offer digital health inclusion sessions.  

We know that it can be hard to partner with primary care, and we are looking at how we can better help you connect with the NHS locally. 

ICBs locally are going through signicificant restructure which may impact on their ability to support this work 

Please email england.kfh@nhs.net  to be connected with your ICB comms or digital lead. 

Public health teams in local government may also be interested in helping with service design and delivery, and recommend you consider contacting your director of public health.
