Everyone in Norfolk and Waveney deserves to live well. That’s why our NHS organisations, councils, public services and voluntary and community partners are working together as an integrated health and care system.
We have joined up to tackle all the things that affect our health and wellbeing, listen to the priorities of our communities, local people and patients and tackle some of the biggest challenges we are all facing.
Integrated care is about removing traditional divisions between services so people and communities get the support and care that they need.
Health and care services in Norfolk and Waveney have been working together closely over the past few years to improve services and provide more joined up care for local people.
As a result of the Health and Care Act, the Norfolk and Waveney ICS was given legal status and included a statutory Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), and an Integrated Care Board (ICB) called NHS Norfolk and Waveney, which replaced the area’s clinical commissioning group (CCG).
This exciting way of working created a genuine partnership that makes a positive difference to local people and helps join up health and social care. This was the culmination of many years of effort to build partnership working across the NHS, local authorities, the third sector and patient groups. We’ve already made significant progress in Norfolk and Waveney over the last few years to improve care and provide more joined up services.
The move to integrated care gave us the opportunity to work even more closely with our residents and communities. Working together in partnership we can really help improve the health and wellbeing of people in Norfolk and Waveney and support our brilliant front-line staff.
