August 2022 ICS Newsletter – All Together for healthier futures

The first ICS Newsletter is here!

Jan Thomas, Chief Executive Officer for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System (CPICS) and NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough (the Integrated Care Board), sets out what’s been happening across the ICS in the first month.

In summary, there has been lots of positive work and a few key developments, NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Board met and appointed new Partner Board Members; Cambridge University Hospital (CUH) NHS Foundation Trust launched a brand new Heart and Lung Research Institute (HLRI) in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (NWangliaFT) launched its first-ever Digital, Data and Technology Strategy.

The first-ever Health Inequalities Challenge Prize called on people and organisations to submit plans for new projects to make a positive difference in our local communities.  An expert panel judged the applications, and eight finalists have been awarded £3,000 in funding for their project, as well as expert support.  You can find out more about the finalists on the ICS website.

Following excellent collaborative work across the Integrated Care System, CPICS have now submitted their plans to NHS England.  This revised operational plan takes into account new funding received to mitigate against the impact of inflation (net £25m), as well as the ongoing effects of COVID-19.

Everything at Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System is about improving the health and wellbeing of our local people and communities.  If you want to find out more about how the CPICS works, please get in touch with them in the following way;
