Integrated Neighbourhood Working

Trent PCN: Enabling strategic commissioning and prevention through data Trent PCN used our advanced analytics platform, PHM Pathfinder Analytics to identify patients at high risk of emergency admission. Link workers engaged these patients with tailored support, connecting them to clinical and community services. Within six months, emergency admissions dropped by 58%, A&E attendances by 41%, and mental health activity by 37%. This wasn’t just a clinical success — it was a strategic one. The data enabled the PCN to demonstrate a 3:1 return on investment, making a compelling case to shift funding from reactive hospital care to proactive community support.

Our tools helped the PCN act on real-time insights, personalise care, and measure impact. The programme showed how PHM can support strategic commissioning — identifying where resources are needed and justifying investment in prevention. By enabling neighbourhood teams to deliver smarter, data-driven care , we’re helping systems redesign services around keeping people well, not just treating illness.
