Summary

Forty-two Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) in England are set to become new statutory bodies from July 2022, marking a significant shift in how health and care services are planned and delivered towards a model of joined-up partnership working and coordination.

At the Health Plus Care conference on the 18 May 2022, Patient Safety Learning's Chief Executive Helen Hughes, Maggie Boyd, Associate Consultant at NHS Arden & GEM Commissioning Support Unit, Sue Braysher, Managing Director at Bluebellwoods Consulting and Graham Hewett, Associate Director of Quality at NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group, discussed the development of ICSs in the context of patient safety. They considered the opportunities and challenges that this presents and the need to embed patient safety in the culture, leadership and new governance structures. See attached their presentation slides.
