This is, by far, the best session on ICSs I have attended.... and I’ve been to a few. All speakers addressed the operational impact.

This webinar explores the importance of the voluntary, community and social enterprise VCSE sector contribution in shaping, improving and delivering services, and developing and implementing plans to tackle the wider determinants of health. It looks at how to effectively include this diverse and creative sector in emergent ICB structures and models. The webinar shares learning from systems, and asks:

How Integrated Care Boards ICBs can engage and embed the VCSE sector in system level governance and decision making arrangements
How to build on the involvement of VCSE partners in forums at place and neighbourhood level
How to ensure the VCSE sector can be supported to remain resilient and effective as part of a wider system.
