Integrated care aims to address inequality through removing fragmented health and social care. It is being adopted worldwide, including in the UK, where the NHS is undergoing significant transformation as it introduces integrated care for all providers.

This new book aims to equip students and practitioners to take the lead in this new model of care delivery. It will help them understand the key principles of integrated care and then apply these to the design, implementation and practice of integrated care in their own work.

Written by academics and operational healthcare leaders, this book is ideal for final year students of nursing, allied health and social care, postgraduates, and all nursing and allied health professionals who will be required to work within the UK’s new integrated care systems.
