Today we published our report "Patients at the centre: integrating primary and community care".

๐ฝ Watch the video below to learn more about the Committee's findings.
1) Structures running the health service must be optimised ๐ฅ
Elected local government officials should be allowed to chair the boards which run ICSs and the Government should give an update on its plan for single accountable officers to run local health services.
4) Clinicians need more high-quality training on integrated working ๐ฉโ๐ซ
Training time for clinicians should be funded and protected while there should be more opportunities for job rotations. More disciplines should be given independent prescribing rights.
