What is an ICS?

Integrated care systems (ICSs) are partnerships between the organisations that meet health and care needs across an area, to coordinate services and to plan in a way that improves population health and reduces inequalities between different groups.

An ICS exists to improve the health and care of all residents, preventing illness, tackling variation in care and delivering seamless services while getting maximum impact for every pound.  The collective strength of these organisations work together to address their residents’ biggest health challenges, many exacerbated by Covid-19.
