For the wider health system, the Big Local model provides a unique source of evidence for the efficacy of community-led initiatives on improving health and wellbeing outcomes. The experience of Big Local areas is instructive for how emerging local health systems organised around places recognise, work with and support community-led initiatives for improved health and wellbeing. These initiatives could have significant impacts not just for individual experience and outcomes, but hold the potential to alleviate demand pressures on formal healthcare provision.
