ICS Development Programme

This online development programme will help housing associations engage with Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in the NHS.

ICS are based on a population approach to peoples’ health. We’ve developed a programme to help you understand what these mean for you as a housing association and how, as a sector, we can best contribute to delivering place-based population health services.

The programme gave me the opportunity to network, to understand other organisation’s experience and to be inspired.
Unlike other events, this was much more intimate.

Director of Customer Experience and Communities, Longhurst Group

How it works

The programme is held over three online sessions , facilitated by Andrew van Doorn, Chief Executive, HACT and Peter Molyneux, Managing Director, Common Cause Consulting.

 

Both are recognised experts in housing and health, and both hold NED positions on NHS Trusts. They have exhaustive contacts within the health and care sectors. A range of guest speakers will be invited to participate in the sessions, bringing with them insights and expertise on how Integrated Care Systems are working in practice.

 

Delegates will be encouraged to work together as an action learning set so they can develop and embed learning from the programme. They will work with support from Drew and Peter to define and articulate the offer of their organisation to local health systems.

 

Over 35 housing associations have already benefitted from our previous development programmes which has enabled them to engage in long-term partnerships that transform the delivery of health and care, while simultaneously resulting in better integration between housing and health.

What are the benefits?

Beginning in January 2023, this online programme will bring delegates together so they can:

  • > strengthen their understanding of how to engage with their local health colleagues;
  • > build awareness of the competencies needed to deliver within a healthcare setting;
  • > identify partnering opportunities with health;
  • > describe and refine their offer to NHS providers and commissioners;
  • > Build their credibility as potential partners with the health sector

“The programme helped me explore possibilities for engaging with NHS colleagues to deliver new services or exploit existing relationships. It is hugely relevant for senior members of staff”

Housing Services

As social housing organisations plan their future service provision, the question is how they can increase integration between health and housing for the benefit of local people and communities. We’re here to support the sector in meeting this challenge.
