National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme (NNHIP), a new and exciting national project. Within South Bristol, there are three
pilot projects running, aligned with the local Primary Care Network (PCN). Partners in the Swift PCN geography originally agreed to focus their
project on building on the successful delivery of mental health group sessions provided
by Mental Health Workers based in the GP practice, jointly funded by Avon and
Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership (AWP). Due to the recent allocation of funding, the
original proposal has developed into four bespoke sessions focusing on the

partners to help address the wider determinants of health such as housing and
food poverty. The target cohort across South Bristol is aligned with the
