Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System (ICS)

Integrated Care System

Health and care services in Norfolk and Waveney have been working together closely over the past few years to improve services and provide more joined up care for local people. In December 2020, we were formally designated as an Integrated Care System (ICS).

In Norfolk and Waveney, we have already achieved a lot by working in partnership; this has been strengthened through our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes have been made possible by different organisations – NHS hospitals, GPs, mental health and community health services, local councils, care homes and social workers, voluntary and community organisations and others – joining forces to agree and plan for local people’s needs.

As a result of the new Health and Care Act, the Norfolk and Waveney ICS has legal status and includes a statutory Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), and a new Integrated Care Board (ICB) called NHS Norfolk and Waveney.

This is a new and exciting way of working, creating a genuine partnership that will make a positive difference to local people and help join up health and social care. This is the culmination of many years of effort to build partnership working across the NHS, local authorities, the third sector and patient groups.

We’ve already made significant progress in Norfolk and Waveney over the last few years to improve care and provide more joined up services. 

The move to more integrated care gives us the opportunity to work even more closely with local people and communities.

Working together in partnership, we can really help improve the health and wellbeing of people in Norfolk and Waveney and support our brilliant front-line staff.
