Camden Integrated Care Partnership Community Connectedness
Integrated Care NHS organisations, Local Authorities and their partners are joining forces to coordinate services around the whole needs of each person. Integrated care aims to improve population health by tackling the causes of illness and the wider determinants of health. ICSs are the NHS s chosen vehicle to redesign services to make it easier for individuals to access health and social care at the right time, in the right place. They bring NHS providers, commissioners, local authorities, and other health and care services together to propose how they can improve the way that health and care is planned and delivered in a more person-centred and coordinated way. This may include simpler access to GPs, faster cancer diagnosis and offer better help to people with mental health problems. ICSs will have a key role in working with Local Authorities at place level stronger partnerships in local places between the NHS, local government and others with a more central role for primary care in providing joined-up care.
The 3 levels of our new system PCNs/Neighbourhoods (circa 30-50k people) Served by groups of GP practices working with NHS community services, social care and other providers to deliver more coordinated and proactive services, including through primary care networks. Places / Partnerships (circa 250-500k people) Served by a set of health and care providers in a town or district, connecting primary care networks to broader services including those provided by local councils, community hospitals or voluntary organisations. Systems (circa 1M-3M people) The whole area s health and care partners in different sectors come together to set strategic direction and to develop economies of scale. 3
