Whittington Health NHS Trust and the Haringey GP Federation have a strong and established history of working together to improve health outcomes for Haringey's diverse communities.As two of Haringey's integrators, we work in partnership with the London Borough of Haringey to lead the development and delivery of the borough's neighbourhood health model, recognised for its collaborative and innovative approach. As integrators, we act as enabling organisations responsible for supporting and scaling integrated, place-based delivery of neighbourhood services. This role is central to the national ambition to shift care from acute settings into the community, with a strong emphasis on prevention, early intervention and reducing long-term inequalities.

A leading example of this integrated approach is the Multi-Agency Care and Coordination Team (MACCT): bringing together professionals from health, social care and the voluntary sector to support adults with frailty or complex needs. MACCT is widely recognised as the model on which the Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) can be built, demonstrating what truly joined-up, preventative and person-centred neighbourhood care can achieve.

Colleagues appointed to joint roles will join an ambitious and inclusive partnership shaping the future of integrated care in Haringey.
