Integrating Health and Social Care for Better Wellbeing: The Case for Change

This open forum in March 2016 explores the necessity of integrating health and social care, addressing rising demand, constrained resources, workforce challenges, and public expectations. It emphasizes the need for change in a fragmented landscape, particularly in the Northeast Regional Context with high levels of deprivation and an unsustainable health economy. The forum discusses NHS planning, the importance of integration with social care, and the barriers and opportunities presented by different funding and governance models. It concludes by highlighting future plans including sustainability and transformation initiatives, integrated IT systems, and the Better Care Fund. The focus is on improving wellbeing through innovative care models and grassroots initiatives for better community health outcomes.
