This article explores the front-line experience of a two-tier shire county, Nottinghamshire, in using a whole-systems working approach to the promotion of independence and well-being for older people. Nottinghamshire has been one of the eight national pilot sites for LinkAge Plus. The experience of managing a whole-systems approach in practice in implementing LinkAge Plus is explored. The importance of ensuring the systematic engagement of older people in the process is emphasised. The article describes six learning areas which helped the development of preventative and well-being services in the context of whole-system working and older people's engagement.
