Supporting integration: workforce considerations roundtable discussion

This roundtable event was set up to review the findings of the report Supporting integration through new roles and working across boundaries, which The King’s Fund had produced independently with support from NHS Employers and the Local Government Association.

Participants had been invited for their expertise and experience from academic, policy, professional and service delivery perspectives. The meeting was structured to discuss the report’s findings, to consider two case studies that would illustrate how they played out in real life, and, in small group discussions, to propose issues and possible actions for NHS Employers and the Local Government Association to consider.
