West Northamptonshire Council begin to build the Local Area Partnership journey as part of the Integrated Care System. Two pioneering Partnerships known as LAPS are being developed in N4 (Northampton) and DSN4 (Towcester). The North are doing likewise in Corby and Kettering.

The Slide Deck which can be seen here demonstrates the Operating Model that will be used within these LAPS, and the clinical and health related issues which (based on Insight Data) are being viewed as Priorities.

VCSE organisations should read the Slide Deck in detail as they may be required to contribute to these LAP programmes at some stage in the future.

In addition to this, the overarching Integrated Care Partnership Strategy is being developed, and VCSE organisations should watch this space for its final iteration. Ther may be some engagement on this Strategy in late October or early November 2022.
