- Approaches to integrating health and care services to improve efficiency and meet population needs have varied across the United Kingdom’s four devolved nations.
- Despite policy divergence between these four health systems, similar challenges and pressures exist. In many cases, NHS leaders are exploring similar solutions, whether through service integration, new models of care or increasing use of digital and data.
- Given the differences in approach to integration across the four nations, the NHS Confederation, supported by Novartis, has developed this resource to showcase both examples of good practice and lessons learned in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
- The case studies included in this resource leverage digital, data and care personalisation approaches. General learnings and further resources can also be found at the end of this document.
- By highlighting specific work taking place from across the UK, it is hoped that integrated care systems (ICSs) in England can take learnings from their devolved counterparts, some of which are further along on their integration journey.
