Bexley Health Neighbourhood Care CIC (BHNC) already has established relationships with NHS Trusts, providers and commissioners across South East London and into Kent within the commissioned services it currently delivers. BHNC are already operating as part of the Integrated Care System (ICS) to deliver services such as the OOH Enhanced Access service, Diabetes care and phlebotomy.
BHNC have demonstrable experience of working pragmatically and at pace to deliver the National Covid Vaccination initiative across Bexley and the Polio Immunisation programme to children across Bexley.
Both initiatives have enhanced integrated and partnership working within the ICS to build and sustain relationships with the wider community and voluntary sector (BVSC). Our multi-disciplinary workforce and partners reached vulnerable and underrepresented communities within Bexley (hard to reach groups, homeless, house bound, refugees, disabilities, travellers etc.) and we have continued those strong relationships to ensure healthcare accessibility is accessible to all.
Since the introduction of the ICS model in July 2022, BHNC have built relationships with our partners to improve the way we work collaborately together to meet the aims of the ICS.
To implement the NHS Long Term Plan within the UEC system, BHNC will be pivotal to work in Partnership with the SEL Integrated Care System to implement the Agenda and to address and improve patient pathways to urgent and emergency care. This will include working in Partnership with 111 and the local Acute Trusts ED’s, GP Practices, Community Pharmacies, Mental Health, End of Life as well as the social and third sector providers.

Sometimes we all need someone to talk to and often it can be helpful if this is not a close family member or friend. Carers are no exception – most spend their whole lives worrying about and caring for another person and sometimes their own needs can be forgotten.
