As the Integrated Care System develops across Northamptonshire, the role of the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) becomes clearer. One of the major outputs for the Partnership is the delivery on an Integrated Care Strategy.

The timelines to produce this Strategy (set by NHS England) are tight (by December 2022) and this document is likely to be a high-level set of operational aspirations which can be developed over time through the 17 Local Area Partnerships.

Guidance on what the Strategy should include can be viewed here

There will be some community engagement around the Strategy starting in September of 2022.

The Strategy will be used by the Integrated Care Board (ICB) to build a 5 year Resources Plan aimed at Health Inequalities and the wider determinants of those Inequalities across Northamptonshire.
