Person-centred integrated care
About this event
A fully integrated system of care is essential to meet the needs of an ageing population, to transform the way that care is provided for people with long-term conditions and to enable people with complex conditions to live healthy, fulfilling, independent lives.
Building on our previous integrated care conferences – where we have highlighted the importance of aligning incentives and working in partnership across organisations and professions – this conference aimed to identify what good care looks like for people and their families, and what challenges and opportunities currently exist to making person-centred, integrated care a reality.
