Integrated Care Boards

Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are organizations that coordinate healthcare services across a specific area, bringing together hospitals, clinics, social care, and community health services. Their goal is to improve overall patient care by ensuring these services work seamlessly together, making it easier for people to access the right support at the right time. ICBs plan, fund, and oversee local healthcare delivery, focusing on prevention, early intervention, and better health outcomes. They aim to make healthcare more coordinated, efficient, and responsive to the needs of their communities.
