An integrated neuroscience model for the integrated care system

<h3></h3> We have developed a new model to support the delivery of neuroscience care across the integrated care system (ICS). We have incorporated the diverse expertise from community care, primary care, secondary care and tertiary care in developing this model, and we have implemented and continue to develop this model to support the ICS. With the aim of harmonising neuroscience care across the sector, the Community Neuroscience Project team assessed where there may be inequalities in accessing neuroscience services across boroughs in our ICS. The model we have developed provides teams, to include Primary Care, Community therapists and Nurses, with equitable access to neuro-specialist support, regardless of borough and local service availability. Through collaborative working we support local teams to look after their patients with a neuroscience condition, and interface with hospital services where needed. The core team have both hospital and community representation. We have developed a neuroscience network in our ICS through virtual multidisciplinary meetings, joint sessions with clinicians in the community and educational events. This model is translatable to other regions and other specialties, providing patients with the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
