Integrated Care Systems go live in the NHS - reflections after 3 weeks

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

On 1st July we saw the introduction of legislation for Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) in the NHS. In the weeks since, what has changed for healthcare leaders, practitioners and patients?
What are the key priorities for NHS decision-makers and what is getting in the way of change? How can Pharma and Medtech support their NHS customers as they implement this change?
In this episode Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) explored all this and more with Steve Reed (Head of Community Services, York Teaching Hospital NHS FT) and Dr Viren Mehta (Vice Chair, Viaduct Care and Clinical Director, Cheadle Primary Care Network).
Together, they explore:

• What integrated care really means in practice
• How integrated the NHS really is at the moment
• What the key priorities are for those driving integration and leading ICSs
• What is getting in the way of change, and how industry can help

This podcast was originally broadcast live as a webinar on Friday 22nd July 2022. Please see further details at https://mtechaccess.co.uk/ics-go-live-nhs-first-3-weeks/
