- Abstract:
- Major changes are taking place in the way health and care is organised in England, with integrated care systems now established in all areas of the country. Much of the heavy lifting involved in integrating care and improving population health is happening more locally, with placed-based partnerships playing a key role in driving change. But what does working at place really mean, and how can the development of place-based partnerships be supported? Drawing on existing evidence and literature, interviews in three example systems and engagement with leaders in the NHS, local government and voluntary and community sector, The King's Fund sought to better understand the potential role and contribution of place-based partnerships and explore how they are forming in practice. This report outlines the key functions of place-based partnerships and identifies eight principles to help guide their development: (1) start from purpose, with a shared local vision; (2) build a new relationship with communities; (3) invest in building multi-agency partnerships; (4) build up from what already exists locally; (5) focus on relationships between systems, places and neighbourhoods; (6) nurture joined-up resource management; (7) strengthen the role of providers at place; (8) embed effective place-based leadership. The report concludes by highlighting the implications for ICSs as they establish themselves and clarify their roles and structures, and for national bodies and regional teams as they approach the next stages of policy development and support for integrated care.
