Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire has been asked to participate in a Peer-to-Peer Review of Havering’s new Integrated Care System (ICS), alongside Julie Curtis the Director of Place for West Northamptonshire. Participation includes holding and facilitating several stakeholder Focus Groups and supporting the process of change within the ICS in Havering. This is due recognition of VINs role within the Northamptonshire ICS, and for securing Health Inequality Funding over the next three years from the Lottery Community Fund. Russell Rolph (CEO) states:

Bringing the wider determinants of health into the ICS could be a game changer. We have already learned many lessons from our own ICS journey in Northamptonshire, which is far from over, and offering help to other systems is a great way of sharing information and gathering best practice. As the Peer-to-Peer Review advances more information will be made available, so keep looking out for this at our What’s New Section of the Website.
