About us

Our programmes

We work across all 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) supporting and enabling healthcare systems to make transformative changes – big and small, leading to improvements in the health and wellbeing of people, communities and the workforce that serve them.

We do this through a range of nationally commissioned, locally delivered programmes such as the CARE programme (Connected, Authentic, Resilient, Empowered) and national Care Navigation training, as well our expertise in integrated neighbourhood working, supporting the adoption and spread of digital innovation, and health creation through the Community Health and Wellbeing Worker Programme.
