Integrated care systems (ICSs) are the centrepiece of the biggest legislative overhaul of the NHS in a decade. From July 2022, England will be formally divided into 42 area-based ICSs, covering populations of around 500,000 to 3 million people.

Integrated care is about people only having to tell their story once to get the high-quality care and support that means they can live the lives they want. It presents the opportunity for joint working across service providers to ensure person-centred care, where choice and control is based on what matters to the person drawing on care and support.

It will explore what partnership working looks like across teams and organisations. What does this mean for leaders? It is co-designed with input from with the NHSLA and local representatives to understand their current challenges and opportunities. 6 modules in topics including Leading alongside your local communities and Improving the health of our local communities
