A practical resource highlights 15 actions to support local health and care systems to achieve integration. The actions draw on evidence about what works from international research and emerging best practices, and are aligned with national policy, legal frameworks and regulatory guidance. The actions will help local partners to focus on three key elements: the delivery of person-centred coordinated care; the building of local “place-based” care; and support systems system leadership for integration. For each action, the resource sets out the rationale, 'How to' tips, and signposts to the underpinning evidence and examples of good practice. The resource is designed to support local systems to identify areas for improvement and introduce sound approaches for accelerating progress or tackling the barriers to better care.

Outlines ways to develop and support the leadership skills and capacity required to understand and exploit digital tools and approaches in local government. The skills will enable councils to apply appropriate digital solutions, delivering better outcomes, improving the experience of their shared customers and workforces, and reducing costs. Skills will also involve systematically sharing any knowledge and assets created and scaling up appropriate 'exemplars' to the benefit of the whole sector. The document briefly sets out a series of practical steps for developing local digital leadership at councillor, senior officer and practitioner level, building on the work and models already in place in the sector. These involve: Chief executive round table discussions, a Digital Academy a place-based model to develop skills, peer review and peer challenge, a Digital champions' network, and the development of a digital good practice database.

Findings from a national survey of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) to identify the extent to which there is alignment and collaboration between integrated care systems to capture the 'burning issues' facing HWBs and potential gaps in the existing support offers. The survey was carried out between October and November 2021 and received 59 responses, across all regions, types of council and with a range of geographical complexities. The findings capture the 'burning issues' facing HWBs including collaborative local leadership and strategies; and identify the key challenges and potential gaps in the existing support offers. The most commonly mentioned successes were: partnership working; addressing health inequalities and wider determinants of health; and the development and delivery of strategies. The majority of respondents reported that their HWB strategy was promoting a person (80 per cent, and a preventative, assets-based population health approach (86 per cent). Almost three quarters of respondents (72 per cent) reported that they have effective working relationships and high levels of trust with ICSs to a great or moderate extent. The most commonly identified challenges were funding and resourcing issues; organisational and cultural differences; and ways of working together. The most common success factors to emerge were build strong relationships; need for partnership working; need for community engagement; and need for clarity of role.
