Abstract

A central London NHS trust piloted an adapted Buurtzorg model Neighbourhood Nursing team to test and learn how the model might work. Buurtzorg means neighbourhood care in English. It is a nurse-led model set up in the Netherlands in 2006 to promote integrated health and social care. An evaluation of the early pilot was undertaken between January and July 2017. The pilot began in November 2016. The evaluation included interviewing patients and relatives, GPs, other practitioners and managers; analysing documents and anonymised patient records as well as observing and interviewing neighbourhood nurses and district nurses. The pertinent findings of this early work are outlined here.
