This webinar recording looks at the role of ICSs in enabling people who use services to gain more control over their own health and care – ensuring people are at the heart of health and care services. The webinar looks at what needs to happen at place and at system level. It covers:

The importance of giving patients more choice and the impact it can have;
How ICSs can create the right partnerships and conditions to support an increase in personalised care, social prescribing and community-based support – and how to do that across health, public health, primary care, local government and the voluntary sector;
How are systems using population health to do this?
It also shares the latest work funded by the Coalition for Personalised Care, supported by SCIE, exploring how ICSs develop aligned and effective place-based approaches to social prescribing and community-strengthening.

Chair: Alex Fox OBE, Chief Executive, Shared Lives Plus, NHS Assembly Member, Vice Chair, Think Local Act Personal
