Health & Social Care
Health & Social Care
The combined NHS and local authority estates for health and social care (and the creation of new Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships, STPs, that incorporate them) represent one of the most significant areas for releasing capital assets for cost savings and generating new revenue for greatest impact. Insufficient collaboration on strategy at local level, however, has led to a stymying of these benefits.Â
- Our first report, entitled “Building a Sustainable Future for Health and Social Care” proposed a new approach to establishing collaboration for shared estates, infrastructure and systems (such as IT).
- Our second report on “The Digital Future for Health and Social Care” takes this further, looking at how newly forming STPs could integrate and innovate in digital technology to contribute to transformation across the sectors.
The BBI Health & Social Care programme will continue to address these challenges into 2017-18, seeking new solutions.
Our previous 2016-17 programme and reports are available below.

Outside/In: Working with Convictions: A systemic approach to Inclusive Employment
Our understanding of trauma and the profound and lasting ways in which it can affect people’s lives is increasing, and there is growing awareness of the requirement to make services more responsive to the specific needs that traumatic experiences can create…
Pharmacy in Place
As the NHS moves into a new era with Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) due to become statutory bodies from April 2022, the time is right to consider how Community Pharmacies can support ICSs to deliver the objectives of the NHS Long Term Plan and help the NHS to restore and recover services as we move out of the current pandemic.
Laying the Foundations for Change
This report sets out the findings from a scoping exercise in support of the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) commitment to developing its departmental strategy to address social isolation and loneliness. In particular, MHCLG were seeking to develop a toolkit for local authority planning and infrastructure staff that will assist them to make Prosocial places a reality.
A Place for Prevention
Few would argue with the age-old axiom that prevention is better than cure, and yet it still remains the case that investment on prevention is significantly lower than that for treating illness. This report is the culmination of months of user engagement across two locations in the Kent and Medway footprint. It takes into account what prevention means from the top-down and the bottom-up. It provides the blueprint for how an entire county wide approach to prevention can be implemented through using this research as a case study.

Connecting People and Place: An action plan for addressing social isolation and loneliness in north Portsmouth
Breaking Barriers Innovations (BBI) and Health Education England (HEE) are leading a series of pilot projects on place and the social determinants of health across England. The pilots seek to provide a facilitated and comprehensive approach to the place-based development and delivery of health and social care services that can address the social determinants of health and wellbeing.
Somerset Playbook: Final Report and Action Plan
The Covid-19 pandemic is placing health and social care professionals across the world in unprecedented situations. In the UK, the NHS and local government have worked swiftly to reshape systems and processes to contain the infection and protect the most vulnerable within their communities. The pandemic now provides an opportunity to rethink not only how the health and social care workforce can effectively deliver services, but how to make these sectors better places for staff to work and particularly to encourage young people to consider careers within health and social care.
Thinking it Through Report
BBI convened a Roundtable on February 14 2019, which was attended by a number of senior managers and leaders from across health and social care commissioning and service delivery. The aim of this Roundtable was to identify the key challenges facing mental health services, how these are being addressed, and what the vision for the future of mental health commissioning and provision looks like, in light of the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) and the independent review of the Mental Health Act.
Pathways, Place and Priorities for Digital Innovation Report
Breaking Barriers Innovations held a Roundtable discussion on 20th March 2019, the Roundtable provided an opportunity for decisionmakers in the NHS, Local Authorities and industry partners to explore the implications for digital technologies in light of the NHS Long Term Plan.
Bridging the Care Gap Report
This report captures a Roundtable discussion on how health and social care leaders are attempting to bridge the care gap between an overburdened acute hospital sector that has seen exponential increases in demand and a care system that is struggling to cope.
HOMES Report
This report draws the link between the relationship between health and housing and how the NHS and local authorities can work together to ensure both are addressed through integrated strategy, engagement with residents, workforce development and service transformation.
Laying the Foundations for Place-Based Health and Social Care
The aim of this report was to present a new model for integration and innovation in health and social care that uses collaboration to create a unified, cross sector strategy to estates and infrastructure as the catalyst to meet the current financial and service demand challenges.
Channelling the Flow
The aim of this report was to analyse constraints to transformational change in health and social care and present steps towards a flexible, more responsive system to more effectively manage patient flow.
The Digital Future for Health and Social Care
Digital innovation should be used as a positive force to overcome barriers to the integration of health and social care and improve standards of delivery.
Building a Sustainable Future for Health and Social Care
We developed a new model for integration and innovation in health and social care using cross-sector collaboration in estates and infrastructure to balance financial pressures and service demand challenges.
