Our Integrated Care System
The Health and Care Bill 2022 created Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) as replacements for Clinical Commissioning Groups, and establishes in law the role of Integrated Care Partnerships as the committee where health, social care, the voluntary sector and other partners come together as an Integrated Care System (ICS).
Following the boundary changes announced by the government in 2021, we welcomed Bassetlaw into the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System from 1 July, 2022.
About our Integrated Care System
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS) is a partnership and collaboration that brings together NHS services, local authorities and other local partners across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to collectively plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of our population.
More citizens than ever need care in a range of settings, including at home, in hospital and in the community. However, care across different settings is often poorly coordinated and inefficient, leading to disjointed services that can be of variable quality. By working together as a whole system, we can address these issues and improve care for all citizens.
Our ICS has evolved from a long history of local health and care integration. We believe this history of working together puts us in a strong position for the future.
