Shared Lives growth and development: Best practice

Throughout 2026, we have released three briefings exploring best practice across the six building block areas for developing and growing Shared Lives, previously identified in guidance we developed with Partners in Care and Health

All three reports are below, and can be used by schemes to adapt these insights to their local context, supporting both immediate improvements and the long-term development of Shared Lives.
