What is an Integrated Locality Partnership (ILP)
ILPs are partnerships made up of local Government, NHS, Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, housing and increasingly communities, people and wider partners such as police, education etc. They work with each other to bring services together and plan how they are delivered to their local populations. They work together as one, ‘integrated’ system to deliver the priorities set out by our health and care partnership. We call this a ‘population based approach’ to improving health and care because it is tailored to the areas that people live in.
Each primary care network is aligned to an integrated locality partnership (ILP). There is an ILP for each of our 6 localities in Gloucestershire; Cheltenham, Cotswolds, Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Stroud & Berkeley Vale and Tewkesbury.
What is a Primary Care Network (PCN)?
Primary care networks (also known as Integrated Neighbourhood Teams) are made up of a group of GP practices working together, in partnership with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local area. You can watch a short animation that explains the concept of Primary Care Networks here.
Care is provided in a way that matches people’s needs within a geographical area.
PCNs aim to offer more personalised ‘joined up’ health and social care to the local community. There are 15 PCNs in Gloucestershire and most networks serve between 30,000 to 60,000 patients.
Primary Care Networks:
- Provide care in different ways to match people’s needs.
- Offer appointments that work around patients’ lives.
- Introduce new healthcare professionals to GP practices including paramedics, physiotherapists, pharmacists
and mental health professionals.- Make better use of technology to support patients.
- Focus on prevention and personalised care.
- Make use of collective resources across practices to build greater resilience.

NHS Gloucestershire Primary Care Strategy
In Gloucestershire we have developed a plan which sets out our ambitious vision for the people of Gloucestershire. We want patients to stay well for longer, access out of hospital care – where appropriate – and to further integrate general practice with other local, primary and community care providers. We have identified 6 goals to help us deliver this plan, and you can read the goals in our Primary Care Strategy.
