How will the Integrated Care System deliver the services in the community?

Introducing your Integrated Care System

Click on this video link to understand how the Integrated Care System (ICS) will operate in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and tackle critical issues like:

  • Health Inequalities
  • Access to digital care services
  • Poor recruitment in health and care roles

On 1st July 2022, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care System (CPICS) was formed as part of a partnership between health and care organisations, local councils, and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises. The purpose of the partnership is to tackle big issues such as:

  • Health inequalities
  • Access to digital care services
  • Recruitment in health & care roles

The new Integrated Care Board (ICB), part of the ICS, will buy NHS services and be called NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.

To enable the ICB to bring health & care decisions closer to home, they will have a North and South team who will work within their areas to address the needs of their local communities.

North

Covering Peterborough, Fenland and Huntingdonshire, the North is responsible for improving the health and well-being of around 575,000 people.

South

Covering Cambridge, South Cambridgeshire and East Cambridgeshire, the South is responsible for improving the health and well-being of around 375,000 people.

The new Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) will bring together your local health and care services.

There are 22 INTs within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, including GP practices, pharmacies, voluntary organisations, hospitals and local councils.
