Practice examples of good practice in integrated care

The Better Care Support Team (BCST) oversees the aims and objectives of the Better Care Fund (BCF). It commissioned SCIE to create a series of local practice examples to shine a light on good practice in integrated care locally. These examples form part of BCST’s practice and evidence for how BCF-funded schemes are improving integration services locally.

The BCF is a partnership between the Department of Health and Social Care, the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, the Local Government Association and NHS England. It is the only nationally mandated programme for the delivery of integrated care.

BCST would like to thank everyone involved for their participation in producing these examples, and hope you find them useful and informative.
