About NENN
What is the Network?
The North East Neurosciences Network (NENN) was established in 2008 to promote the delivery of the National Service Framework for Long Term Neurological Conditions through a collaborative approach to commissioning across the region. This includes cross sector and cross agency working, involving user and carer groups and the third and independent sectors.
NENN is a multi stakeholder model supported by reference groups, task orientated work groups and workstreams.
For more information see 'Work Groups', 'Workforce Innovations Programme' and 'Local Neuro Forums'.
NENN reports to the regional Directors of Commissioning Group and the regional Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) through the Regional Disability Group.�
The intentions of the Network are to ensure delivery of timely, appropriately informed, skilled services closer to peoples homes, in the community. Standards of access and services will be as consistent as possible across the region, with increased choices of options to remain living independently in the community.
NENN promotes:
- A partnership approach, based on respect, between statutory and voluntary organisations and people and their carers in receipt of services.
- An integrated approach to care (both vertically and horizontally) to provide seamless services.
- The Social Model of Disability in all services
- Patient, public involvement and engagement
- Equity, equality and diversity in care provision
- Efficiency and the best use of time and resource
- Quality information, advice and access to evidence/effective interventions and outcomes.
