“ICSs are not ends in themselves –it’s about getting the best possible outcomes, & having a shared focus on people who live in places, not systems.

🎯Getting everyone focused on the same ambitions takes time, hard work & a constant reminder of what you are doing & why.”

Really pleased to see this published - great work from NHS Confederation

Thanks for involving us and great to see our West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership West Yorkshire Combined Authority partnership working highlighted.
