Changing systems. Breaking down barriers. Improving lives.

The partnership between HMP Northumberland and Northumbria NHS Trust has shown what can be achieved when organisations come together with a shared vision. By creating a fully integrated healthcare model, the team has transformed how care is delivered, ensuring patients experience better continuity, improved access and a more joined-up approach to their healthcare.

From introducing a jointly funded specialist nurse role to developing shared pathways, on-site diagnostics and cross-system learning opportunities, this pioneering work has strengthened collaboration and created a sustainable model for the future.

A deserving winner of the Roger Grasby Transformation and Innovation Award, this project is not only delivering benefits today but helping shape the future of integrated health and justice services.

🏆 Congratulations to everyone involved in this outstanding achievement.
