It’s well established that factors beyond healthcare have an impact on people’s health. It follows then that systems beyond healthcare can support positive health outcomes.
Join Dr Niamh Lennox-Chhugani, Chief Executive of the International Foundation for Integrated Care, for a conversation about how healthcare is integrating with social care around the world, what it takes to be effective, and the impact it can achieve.
The International Foundation for Integrated Care is a not-for-profit educational network that crosses organisational and professional boundaries to bring people together to advance the science, knowledge and adoption of integrated care policy and practice. The Foundation seeks to achieve this through the development and exchange of ideas among academics, researchers, managers, clinicians, policy makers and users and carers of services throughout the world.
