Integrated neighbourhood working has been talked about for years, but what does it actually look like when it's put into practice? In this episode, Ben Gowland is joined by Bobby Pozzoni-Child, Director of Partnerships and Transformation for the Buckinghamshire Primary Care Provider Collaborative. Bobby explains how Buckinghamshire has evolved from a GP Provider Alliance into a truly integrated primary care collaborative, bringing together general practice, community pharmacy, dentistry and optometry to create a stronger collective voice and deliver better care. If you're interested in neighbourhood health, integration, system leadership or the future role of primary care, this episode offers practical lessons from a system that's already making it happen.
