Virtual event
Delivering effective place-based care
The role of regions, integrated care systems and place-based partnerships
This is a past event
The introduction of integrated care systems (ICSs) has placed a renewed focus on how organisations can work together to integrate care to meet the needs of local populations.
However, much of the activity to integrate care, improve population health and tackle inequalities will be driven by commissioners and providers collaborating over smaller geographies (often referred to as ‘places’) within ICSs.
This conference provided an opportunity to discuss how effectively place-based care is being delivered across the health and care system, how place-based partnerships – collaborative arrangements that typically include the NHS, local government and others such as voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations and social care providers with responsibilities for planning and delivering services – are evolving, and whether more needs to be done to involve places and communities in developing local approaches to reducing health inequalities.
Conference sessions explored how ICSs and mayoral combined authorities are developing approaches to supporting the development of healthy places in their locality. Delegates heard from local partners from the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, local government and more widely across the health and care system about their role in developing integrated plans, healthy places and neighbourhoods.
Event topics
Sessions specifically focused on:
how place-based partnerships are evolving and how are they working with integrated care systems
the role of place in a system under intense pressure and how strong, well-connected communities that work well together offer an opportunity to transform how services are design and delivered
how to ensure there is visible and accountable leadership at place, and what more can be done to support communities and places to define their own priorities and initiatives within their overarching ICS strategies
how mayoral combined authorities and regions are developing approaches to tackling inequalities in the wider determinants of health, and what the future of devolution means for these approaches
putting primary care at the centre of place, developing place-based approaches to prevention and health inequalities, and building integrated teams at a place and neighbourhood level.
