Integrated care organisations: evidence and experience

11 November, 2009

Integrated care organisations form part of the Next Stage Review and are seen as a means of achieving improved coordination of care, delivering better joined up services between secondary, primary and social care, and providing better overall care for patients more economically. But what does the evidence tell us and how can it help us achieve these desired aims?

Presentations from the seminar are available below.

Professor Naomi Fulop, King's College London - Integrated care, what can the evidence tell us?

Peter Colclough, chief executive, Torbay Care Trust - The Torbay experience of integration

Vicky Bailey, general manager, Principia Partners in health -The Principia experience, who why what?

Future seminars in this series are to be held on:

• Case management
• Personal budgets
• Year of care initiative
