¹ú²úÂÒÂ× is supporting social care teams with #UnderstandingIntegration
¹ú²úÂÒÂ× is supporting adult social care teams with understanding integration.
We're running our #UnderstandingIntegration campaign throughout May which will explore what integration in health and social care means; what an Integrated Care System (ICS) is; the benefits of integration for the social care sector and people who draw on care and support, and how social care workers can get involved with their ICS.
The campaign will run across our website, social media and other communications channels and will include resources to help with understanding integration, expert insights on what integration in social care means, and real life case studies of integration activity which is already underway in different regions across England.
You can follow the campaign and join in on discussions on social media using #UnderstandingIntegration.
Integration between health and social care has been widely discussed for many years. The passing of the Health and Care Act 2022 in April last year and the establishment of Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) in July 2022 have been key in moving the process forward. 
The recent publication of the Hewitt Review has also brought discussions to the forefront.
