Integrated Care Systems
Integrated Care Systems
NHS MLCSU aims to be a highly valued partner for improving health and integrating care. Of the NHS, for the NHS - MLCSU is resilient and innovative.
Our core service geographical reach means we have experience in serving diverse urban and rural populations with the full range of health and care challenges. Nine health systems (covering one-quarter of England’s population with £14.9billion total healthcare spend), NHS trusts, and diverse clients across government, health and social care already benefit from our expertise, which is reflected in our leading customer satisfaction scores.
Our work is focused on supporting financial balance, strategic planning, and delivery of at-scale cost-effective services for the future. As an outsourced NHS organisation, we work to optimise delivery and bring together systems with secondary and primary care and as an independent NHS support organisation. We can embed your local leadership vision and deliver transactional outputs to free up time for Integrated Care Systems (ICS) staff to focus on local patient pathways.
We provide a partnership service, not individual people, which means we will deliver the service with the right skills with good resilience, and business continuity using our wide supply chain of partners to achieve good value for the NHS. Throughout the regions, we collaborate with local and national networks bringing in current thinking to develop and redesign end-to-end services utilising wider teams.
We have co-developed resources and tools that are available on our website. We aim to use our medicines expertise to support ICS functions that can be implemented at scale and help develop innovative approaches to improve patient care. for new organisations. These are continually reviewed and automated with good quality assurance processes.
Our team supported two of the Integrating NHS Pharmacy and Medicines Optimisation (IPMO) areas as part of the seven national pilot sites. In the Midlands site we supported business case planning defining the functions and role of leadership for NHS pharmacy and medicines to ensure visible professional expertise at system level. For the North West IPMO programme we successfully supported strategic change to achieve medicines optimisation at scale to improve patient outcomes and value for money.
