Integrated care systems (ICSs) have been set up to improve the way health and care organisations work together to improve the health and wellbeing of local people. They are a partnership, bringing together the NHS, councils, voluntary organisations and residents to create better services based on what local people need.
Our aim as a partnership is to improve health and care services with a focus on prevention, reducing health inequalities, and creating better outcomes for the people. Together with our partners, we have agreed a collective ambition underpinned by a set of design principles for improving health, wellbeing and equity.
You can read more about our priorities as a health and care system below or by downloading a copy of our Interim North East London Integrated Care Strategy.
To help guide our work, together the partners have agreed four priorities, or joint action areas, where we want to create measurable change, which will create key outcomes for the NHS North East London and place strategies. These are:
Partners have also agreed the following design or operating principles for our system:
Improving quality and outcomes: Individually and together, we will continuously improve access, experience and outcomes for and with our residents, with a specific focus on delivering integrated care in the neighbourhoods where our residents live and work. We will seek to learn together and from international best practice to continuously improve quality, to reinvent our ways of working and better secure our outcomes.
Securing greater equity: We will resolutely tackle inequality in outcomes and experience for our residents and staff, harnessing the diversity of our north east London experience to create better and more responsive solutions and utilising our combined resources to tackle the causes of inequality. We embrace the right of our residents to meaningfully participate, as an equal part of our team, benefiting from the strengths that they bring as individuals and communities.
Creating value: We will transparently work with our residents and staff to secure the maximum, sustainable benefit from our physical, digital and financial resources, repurposing what we have, reducing waste and taking care of our environment. Critically we will support and enable our most important resource, our staff, to reach their potential, enjoy work and be able to effectively contribute to our vision.
Deepening collaboration: We will work in meaningful partnership towards shared goals, holding each other to account for the commitments we have made to each other and to our residents. We will set resident interest and the common good as our defining success measure and we will support our staff to lead and deliver across organisational boundaries. Our key collaboration will be with our residents, who will drive and co-deliver and evaluate the outcomes of our partnership.
