Integrated primary care remains a critical focus for improving NHS patient outcomes. But how do we effectively bridge the gaps that often exist in traditional models? In this episode, Dr Duncan Gooch and Jim Austin, two senior leaders in Derbyshire health and care, discuss the success of the Team Up initiative, exploring how integrated care models can improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital admissions and foster strong partnerships across health and care sectors.
And the urgency for social care reform is clear – following Prime Minister Andy Burnham's speech outlining his commitment to the sector, it seems to be moving to the top of the government’s agenda. But with less than three years until the next general election and a history of failed attempts, the stakes are high. Will it be different this time? To discuss the challenges ahead, Adam is joined by Natasha Curry, deputy director of policy at the Nuffield Trust and Shane Devlin, chief executive of NHS Gloucestershire ICB and NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB cluster.
