Abstract:
As the health and care sector continues to move towards more joined‑up services through integrated care systems (ICSs), strong system leadership is needed to bring NHS, local authority, private and third sector organisations together. So, what does it take to deliver this new approach? Leading for integrated care: 'if you think competition is hard, you should try collaboration' explores what's involved in leading the drive towards integrated care through interviews with 16 system leaders. The report reflects their views on the skills needed, the opportunities offered, and the challenges faced: including their relationships with other organisations, governance, whether legislation is or will be needed, and whether there is a pipeline of future system leaders. It concludes with some reflections on future relations with "the centre" and the regulators, the pace of change, and on how far a truly collaborative and voluntary approach can be the key to success.
