Integrated care systems (ICSs) are partnerships of health and care organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up services and to improve the health of people who live and work in their area. This guidance outlines how partners in an ICS should agree how to listen consistently to, and collectively act on, the experience and aspirations of local people and communities.
