Leading For Change- The Future For Integrated Care Systems

About This Event

Recent proposals published by NHS England and NHS Improvement, Integrating care: next steps to building strong and effective integrated care systems across England, sets out options for legislative change to support Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and make clear that working at ‘place’ will be central to them delivering their ambitions.

With April 2021 marking the deadline for all areas in England to be part of an integrated care system (ICS), this virtual masterclass looks at the future of place and how building multi-agency place-based partnerships can support the continuous development of ICSs.

The masterclass will explore how place-based partnerships are forming and identify emerging lessons for success, including how ICSs can enable and facilitate work at place. Leaders from existing partnerships across the North West will share learning on how they are working together to achieve improved health outcomes for their local communities and reduce inequalities.

• Consider how to build on progress already made by working together to integrate services in the response to Covid-19
• Share learning on creating equal multi-agency partnerships
• Demonstrate examples of mobilising the local community and building community leadership capacity
• Consider the emerging lessons for success
