Integrated Care System (ICS)
The purpose of all integrated care systems in England is to: improve outcomes in population health and healthcare; tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access; enhance productivity and value for money and help the NHS support broader social and economic development. -
NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB)
The Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB is responsible for planning and overseeing how NHS money is spent to support our 1.6 million residents. -
Integrated Care Partnership (ICP)
The ICP brings together a broad alliance of organisations and representatives involved with improving the care, health and wellbeing of the population. -
Health and Care Partnerships (HCPs)
HCPs bring together health, social care and voluntary sector organisations across smaller areas of our ICS to work as one. They play a fundamental role in the way health and care is provided for people in their areas, linking services to ensure people can get the care they need in the right place and at the right time. -
Primary care networks (PCNs)
Primary care networks (PCNs) are groups of GP practices working closely together with other healthcare staff and organisations to provide more joined up care to local communities.
