Webinar 1: What Is Neighbourhood Health – and Why Does It Matter?

This introductory session explores the principles of Neighbourhood Health and its role within the Dorset ICS. We’ll unpack what it means for services to be designed and delivered at the scale of local communities — and how the VCSE is already doing this work.

You’ll learn:

• What “Neighbourhood Health” means in practice
• The role of Primary Care Networks (PCNs), councils and local partners
• How VCSEs fit into emerging models of neighbourhood-based care
• Why this matters for funding, design, and voice

Perfect for: VCSE groups unfamiliar with PCNs or looking to understand local ICS priorities.

A seperate email with MS Team link to join the webinar will be sent out via email a few days before the event.
