How can we take decisions based on a shared understanding of the local population and how people live their lives to promote better health and wellbeing and address health inequalities? The Thriving places guidance recently published by NHS England and NHS Improvement and the Local Government Association (LGA), seeks to support all partner organisations in integrated care systems (ICSs) to define their place-based partnership working, and to consider how they will evolve to support the transition to the new statutory ICS arrangements, anticipated from April 2022.

This webinar, which is the fourth in the ICS development webinar series takes a closer look at some examples from health and care services, examines some of the wider determinants that influence the health of our populations – including housing, skills and education, employment support and the environment. How will the guidance support partners to build on existing arrangements, whilst not disregarding partnership approaches that are already working well? There’s discussion on approaches, opportunities and challenges.
