2:00 pm: Treatment, recovery and Integrated Care Systems – what does it all mean?


November 29, 2022

Online
Tue, 29 November 2022
2:00PM – 3:30PM

Integration is an easy word easy to say but a harder concept to deliver. People struggling with their use of drugs or alcohol need no lessons from policy wonks on the importance of better integrating health and social care services.

Integrated Care Systems now exist in law. But what does that mean for drug and alcohol treatment and recovery services, the public health commissioners in local government who fund them or the people who they support?

Is this just another health reform that won’t have much impact on us?

Can charity providers thrive in the new environment?

How are ICS reforms actually unfolding at the local level?

The future has arrived – it’s just not very evenly distributed! Join an expert panel for 90 minutes of thoughts, reflections and debate on this fascinating topic.
