In Dorset, we’ve been working as an integrated care system (ICS) for a few years. Our ICS is called Our Dorset. Integrating health and care is about removing traditional barriers between services so people can access the support and care they need from NHS and social care services when they need it.
To help do this, health and care in Dorset can be separated into three levels of delivery: neighbourhood, place and system. Our video explains what these terms mean for you, and who is involved in getting you the right care, when you need it.
