Health Boards and Local Authorities recognise that to improve the joint working performance of the professionals within the services there is a requirement to develop structures to support joint working including joint training. This tool intends to augment joint training activities, by developing opportunities for a shared learning within integrated services. This process would begin within the induction period for all new staff to an organisation including support staff and professionally qualified staff. This tool recognises that induction is the foundation to the development of individuals and the organisation. All organisations have induction processes that support new employees. This tool maps a process that allows induction of staff to integrated services and should be conducted to allow this experience to be carried out together with interagency colleagues, enabling shared learning and experience, and supporting joint working in the near future. The key outcome of this simple tool is to prepare the employee to provide the best quality of service within an integrated service. The tool would support this by allowing the employee to work through a number of activities and exercises assisting their adjustment and early development in their new place of employment.

A short video which shows what 'integration' means to different people - professionals and people who use services. Health and social care often work together with a shared purpose, to improve the lives of people who use services, and their carers through the provision of person-centred, coordinated care. The film looks at five areas of integration: research, policy, organisational issues, the effect on staff, service users and carers. (Edited publisher abstract)

This guidance supports the development of distributed clinical and care professional leadership across integrated care systems (ICSs). It describes ‘what good looks like’ in this regard, based on an extensive engagement exercise involving over 2,000 clinical and care professional leaders from across the country, led by a multiprofessional steering group. The document describes two core expectations for Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to ensure clinical and care professional leadership is embedded in ICS arrangements from April 2022 and five core design principles for effective clinical and care professional leadership across ICSs. These include: integrating clinical and care professionals in decision making at every level of the ICS; creating a culture of shared learning, collaboration and innovation, working alongside patients and local communities; ensuring clinical and care professional leaders have appropriate resources to carry out their system role(s); providing dedicated leadership development for all clinical and care professional leaders; and identifying, recruiting and creating a pipeline of clinical and care professional leaders. It is part of a set of resources developed by NHS England and NHS Improvement to guide NHS leaders in their preparations to establish statutory ICS arrangements from April 2022.

Where does the learning behind the Integrated Care System (ICS) model come from internationally, and what is the evidence of the impact of similar models?

This briefing outlines the learning behind integrated care systems and the impact of similar models internationally. The ICS in England is best seen as a development of the existing health and care architecture and nowhere else has quite the same mix of elements, for example: the roles of public and private provision, the primary and secondary care setup, the health and social care split and local and national government roles. However, learning comes from four models being implemented in the Unites states, where the overarching themes that have influenced thinking in the NHS are bundled finance systems, the cultural elements of integration, high quality health reporting, patient choice, and integrated medical records In Europe the impact of integrated care models, particularly Valencia, and to some extent, Gesundes Kinzigtal in Germany, are lower than average public management costs, job security for staff and greater accessibility and treatment for patients. There are also lessons that can be drawn from Japan, which offers low-cost, high-quality integrated social care through the long term care insurance system and from the four Health Maintenance Organisations in Israel and Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) in New Zealand (Edited publisher abstract)

Discussion paper jointly produced by Collaborate and Turning Point, which presents seven key insights for building integrated public services. It argues local integrated services should be at the heart of strategies for social renewal and public service reform. The paper draws on the findings of a roundtable of experts which looked at why integrated services remain on the edge of public services. It highlights the behavioural, cultural and systemic challenges to greater integration. The paper also provides examples of different integrated services models, including Turning Point’s Connected Care model, the MEAM Approach developed by Making Every Adult Matter, and the West London Zone for Children and Young People. These three different approaches all demonstrate aspects of the seven insights, which is evidenced throughout the paper. The paper can be used to inform the commissioning, design and delivery of integrated services. (Edited publisher abstract)

How do you know your council is actively promoting integration of health and social care? This is the seventh in the ‘Must know on adult social care’ series, which offers ‘top tips’ on sources of information and support for council lead members on adult social care. It draws attention to best practice and initiaitves such as the National Collaboration for Integrated Care and Support (NCICS), which has developed a framework for improving health and social care integration. It lists the 16 steps drawn up by the King’s Fund, which that organisation believes will help ensure that integrated care happens widely and speedily. It provides links to relevant resources on integraed care and support. The key points in each 'Must know' can form the basis for developing lead member role descriptions, or as an annual checklist of responsibilities that could form the basis of discussion in personal development planning sessions or with the council leader.

Integration of health and social care has long been a feature of the policy agenda in Scotland, as elsewhere in the UK. The advent of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Bill and the anticipated Act offers an opportunity to draw on this evidence in the course of putting the legislation into practice. Much of the debate to date has tended to focus on the intricacies of structures and governance arrangements. However, the evidence presented suggests that the factors likely to have greater impact on the delivery of acceptable outcomes for individuals are those which focus on leadership, vision, and context. This report was commissioned by the Association of Directors of Social Work (ADSW). It seeks to distil from the research evidence key findings to assist health and social care partnerships in Scotland in their delivery of integrated care and support. Reference is made, as appropriate, to the Bill and associated policy memorandum. However, the focus is on highlighting the key dimensions for implementation and their associated actions irrespective of the detail of legislation or governance. This guide offers those seeking to implement the legislation a summary of what can be learnt from experience and evidence elsewhere and a route map for the elements which should be afforded priority. It also adds to the knowledge base offered in a previous report by the author for ADSW, ‘An evidence base for the delivery of adult services’ (2011). (Edited publisher abstract)

This report outlines the issues raised at a round-table event on integrated out of hospital care convened by the NHS Confederation and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) in April 2012, involving stakeholders from across health and care. Participants endorsed a range of principles and drivers. Discussions were informed by learning from an integrated care model being developed in Southampton. This paper sets out the principles agreed as necessary to lay the foundations for delivering effective integrated out-of-hospital care, each underpinned by a range of drivers and enablers. These are: making best use of resources to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for the whole population; empowering patients to have more control over their care packages, strengthen prevention, self-care and wellbeing; targeting services, focusing integrated services on those patient groups most likely to derive the most benefit; collective leadership and joint working, health and social care leaders jointly deliver solutions appropriate to their own communities; incentivising integrated care, develop mechanisms to reward organisations and staff to deliver integrated care; and ensuring openness and transparency, using an open-book approach towards all aspects of integrated care development.
