Including people with lived experience in research design and the publication process
Background: Even as co-designed projects and citizen science are on the rise, there is still very little inclusion of people with lived experience in the scientific development, implementation and writing process. This workshop creates a safe space and an opportunity for researchers to learn from people with lived experience why, when and how to use their skills, and what support is needed, as well as for researchers to define what they need to l…
Re-invigorating the Global Network for Integrated Care Education and Training
Background: Education and training in integrated care have been the focus of many presentations at previous events, and the subject of recent publications related to the need for globally-aligned competencies for the integrated care workforce. IFIC's Education and Training SIG was founded in 2017 with an aim to build a global network of researchers and educators focused on best practices for workforce development in integrated care. During the pa…
Workshop on Adaptive Leadership Strategies for Integrated Care
Background: Leadership is a critical element for developing effective integrated care (Miller and Stein, 2020; Goodwin, 2020; Dickson and Smith, 2021; Miller, et al. 2023). While many health and social care systems have focused on the technical changes needed for integration, fewer systems have successfully identified and addressed the adaptive changes required to ensure technical changes are achieved. Adaptive change strategies enable leaders an…
Real World Examples
Background: Health systems globally are striving to be more 'person centred'- delivering care in partnership with patients and families in ways that align with their needs, preferences and values. Also, supporting people to direct and drive their own care (self-management) within enabling environments is a critical component of actioning person-centred care. This meeting joins up two Special Interest Groups: 1) Actioning Person Centred Care and 2…
It Means Everything…and It Means Nothing
In order to call oneself a social worker in the United States, an individual must not only complete the required coursework and degree program, but also, in many states, pass a licensure exam. Recent discussion has centered around the efficacy of using an examination as a regulatory tool for licensure, particularly following the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) report identifying bias with the licensure exam itself, and indicating specifi…
Special Interest
Background- Person centred care, care that recognises and honours the unique experiences and conditions of patients, caregivers, families and community is a core component of the quintuple aim but remains poorly understood and seldomly actioned within and across the health and social care systems. Why are we conducting this meeting? At the International Conference on Integrated Care this past spring in Belfast, Northern Ireland we launched a Spec…
Electronic outcome assessments in integrated care
Do electronic outcome assessments offer an opportunity to bolster the effectiveness of integrated care in settings where individuals may receive both healthcare and social services? Integrated Care Systems (ICS) were formed to create partnerships involving the National Health Service, local councils, community and voluntary organisations, local residents, people who use services and their carers with a role in supporting the health and wellbeing …
Harnessing community assets in integrated care
Introduction: Integrating health and social care has been a longstanding policy aspiration in England. This pursuit has been influenced by various policies including the Care Act 2014 which calls for integration of services by emphasising to consider strengths of individuals and leveraging individual and community assets when delivering services. This paper examines the implementation of one such strengths-based approach namely, Community Led Sup…
Self-reported outcomes within integrated care – a bridge between health and social care
Self-report questionnaires can enable health and social care organisations to understand better a person’s views about their health and well-being, allowing them to provide effective, safe, individualised integrated care. Outcomes are the results from care and/or treatments people have received whilst in clinical or other care settings. Some outcomes, such as symptoms, quality of life and aspects of physical, mental, and social functioning can on…
Capturing the impact of integrated care
The evidence underpinning integrated care remains uncertain, with numerous examples of evaluations finding little robust evidence of intended impacts on health or reporting conflicting results. Reasons for this include problems with the design and implementation of integrated care initiatives and issues with integrated care evaluations themselves, such as lack of suitable comparator or poorly defined outcome measures. In this interactive workshop…
Building on assets
The importance for older people’s wellbeing of support from family, friends and informal community networks is well established and reflected in WHO primary care strategies and regional visions for integrated care. In the past, primary care professionals such as general practitioners, community pharmacists and social workers were not sufficiently aware of community assets and how to connect with older people and their families. To address this ga…
Realising the Power of Academic-Voluntary Sector Partnerships to Integrated Care Research
Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise organisations (VCSEs) bring valuable knowledge of local health and care needs and have skills in engaging underserved communities. This makes them ideal partners for integrated health and care researchers. Yet, they are often excluded from research. This paper reflects on the benefits and challenges of VCSE-researcher collaborations and shares examples from Australia and the UK of how these have been over…
Implementing Innovative Approaches to Integrating Adult and Child Focused Services when Responding to Families Affected by Domestic Violence
Purpose Whole family approaches which integrate adult and child focused services are often required when responding to families affected by domestic abuse, however little is known about how to enact and embed these approaches. The purpose of this study is to undertake a multifaceted examination of the complex and inter-related factors that can impact the implementation of integrated approaches in three regions of England. Methods We utilized a ca…
Building on strengths to develop the leadership of social workers
The importance of leadership to creating supportive organizational cultures and positive team cultures for social work practice is well recognized. Yet, there are few opportunities provided for developing leadership behaviors among social workers. Jointly developed by a university and an improvement body, this paper examines the experiences of social workers participating in a post-qualifying leadership program that was aimed at developing partic…
Social work
This Special Issue on Leadership in Social Work emerged from a shared realization that, despite the critical role of leadership as both a facilitator of effective professional practice and a demonstration of social work’s commitment to creating fairer and more equitable societies, there is limited evidence regarding its distinct characteristics and impacts. There is also little published to date on how leadership can be best nurtured and supporte…
Leading by example? Culture, change, and strength-based social work
Leaders play a central role in positive change through setting out a clear vision and inspiring others to commit their skills and resources. Leadership can also influence professional and organizational cultures to provide a more receptive environment for new ways of working. This article considers the interplay of leadership and culture within the context of strengths-based transformational programme within adult social work. Using theory of cha…
Navigating a Decade of Integrated Care Research in the International Journal of Integrated Care
Although the number of papers increased pointing towards more attention for integrated care, we could not identify any significant growth or advancement in the two crucial areas of co-production and impact measurement in integrated care research. These gaps need to be addressed accordingly in both practice and research
Older People and Unpaid Carers’ Experiences of Hospital-at-Home
Hospital-at-Home (HaH) delivers hospital-level treatment in the home, whether people’s own dwelling or a care home. Its intention is to replicate medical interventions available in hospitals in familiar and less distressing surroundings for older people and better coordinate care around the needs of the individuals and their unpaid carers. This study set out to hear directly from those most closely involved, older people themselves, the unpaid ca…

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Integrated Care
Effective care integration requires the right information, at the right time, with care and support delivered in the right environment. Patient-reported outcome measures [PROMs] offer a mechanism to support collaborative integrated care to help people understand their conditions better, live well, and remain independent. Through the lens of the delivery of integrated care in England, we consider the opportunities and challenges associated with th…
Out of Sight, Out of Mind-Explaining and Challenging the Re-Institutionalisation of People With Learning Disabilities and/or Autistic People
During the twentieth century, many countries underwent processes of 'de-institutionalisation'-closing 'asylums' for people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and dementia. Despite this, the UK has witnessed a subsequent process of 're-institutionalisation' with the creation of new public/private sector facilities providing 'secure' care to large numbers of people, who can be residents for many years with no sense of when they may …
Just a story? Leadership, lived experience and integrated care
BACKGROUND: Integrated care is based around values of involvement and shared decision-making, but these are not often reflected within planning and implementation. Barriers include continued emphasis on professional and managerial perspectives, skills gaps on how best to engage people and communities and insufficient investment in involvement infrastructure. Despite such challenges, people with lived experience have still led changes in policy an…
“Don’t do it. You will have no life…but it is brilliant.” The impact of citizen leaders against all odds
Background: This study captured the stories of citizen leaders from around the world to learn about their roles, challenges, and impact they had in order to formulate recommendations for research, policy and practice to embed them meaningfully in the system. Consumer and community engagement is integral to integrated care, so these stories are relevant for everyone: professionals, researchers, policy makers and consumers. Successful steps towards…
Leading by Example
A Leadership Model for Social Work
Leadership is a frequently used term, but these uses include various definitions and applications; these uses are sometimes contradictory. This definitional vagueness can be a particular challenge for professions, including social work. In comparison to other similar professions, there is a lack of leadership knowledge generation in social work. In addition, the organisational context in England has been challenging in recent decades, likely hind…
Framing Privatisation in the English National Health Service
The debate on privatisation is central to social policy, yet it tends to generate more heat than light as definitions and operationalisations of 'privatisation' are often implicit, unclear and conflicting. This paper aims to explore the extent of privatisation in the NHS over three periods of government through the lens of three approaches of Mixed Economy of Welfare, Wheels of Welfare and Publicness. All have two dimensions of provision and fina…
Partnership working in England—where we are now and where we’ve come from
Despite a tendency to focus on structural 'solutions', evidence and experience suggests a series of more important processes, approaches and concepts that might help to promote more effective inter-agency working-including a focus on outcomes, consideration of the depth and breadth of relationship required and the need to work together on different levels
Commission incomplete
The concept of commissioning has risen in prominence in recent years as a result of ongoing reforms to the funding and delivery of public services in the UK. The model of commissioning constructed by policy has however been overlaid on existing practices, which themselves differ between different service areas. This paper, focusing on commissioning of third sector organisations (TSOs) in the field of community mental health services, shows that i…

Builder, Expert, Disruptor, Leader
People with lived experience of health and social care, including family carers, should be at the heart of integrated care policy and practice. One of the challenges to achieving such co-production is insufficient clarity and limited understanding of the different roles that people with lived experience are asked or choose to undertake. Following research and workshops, four roles have been identified - community builder, improvement expert, disr…
Integrated Health and Social Care in England
The experience of England suggests that greatest progress is made when integrated care focusses on tangible issues and when there is a clear understanding of how success will be measured. Even with considerable investment and intent progress should be expected to be slow and difficult. Layering of numerous policy initiatives provides confusion and can distract from the important work of relationship building. And ultimately, integrated care canno…
The Third Sector in Integrated Care
Third-sector organizations (TSOs) are recognized for having a unique and essential role in designing and delivering community-centred, sustainable health and well-being services. A World Café workshop at the 2023 International Conference on Integrated Care to explore perspectives on the questions explored the question: How do we characterize the role of the Third Sector in Integrated Care Systems? Are they Partners, Service Providers, Both or Nei…
Improving Quality in Social Work
Network-based approaches to improvement and specifically, peer challenges have become an integral part of quality assurance in adult social work in England. Whilst the national regulation change in 2011 placed greater weight on local accountability, very few studies have examined the contribution of peer challenges towards improving the quality of adult social work practice. Peer challenge is a process of engaging a wide range of people and exper…
Transforming Integration through General Practice
This article addresses the challenge of how to implement integration within primary care services. It shares learning from a UK based improvement programme which reflected international interest in transferring activities from hospital and community and developing holistic primary care that responds to the needs of the local community. Programme components included additional per capita funding for involved practices, monthly learning sets betwee…
Crossing the Cultural and Value Divide Between Health and Social Care
employment, rehabilitation, carers support, safeguarding, personal care, statutory mental health assessment are but a few of the roles commonly provided. Such diversity is undoubtedly one of the sector’s strengths, but can make it challenging for those working in health to gain a grasp of what actually is ‘social care’. The organisations that deliver such services range from small volunteer run entities that work in a single locality and rely on …

Seventy Years of Privatizing the British National Health Service
The existence of different and conflicting definitions and different types, but few clear measures, of privatization has contributed to different interpretations of the extent of privatization in the almost 70‐year history of the British National Health Service (NHS). This article aims to examine the extent of privatization in the NHS over successive policy chronologies through the lens of the ‘three dimensional’ approach of the Mixed Economy of …
Implementing Asset-Based Integrated Care
The evidence presented in this paper demonstrates that the implementation of LAC, as with most complex service innovations, is dependent on the interplay of organisational and people-based components. In particular, successful implementation depends on maintaining a common vision of what an intervention will achieve and how it will work in practice, continual engagement with the political and organisational leaders of influence, positively addres…

Epilepsy and Children's Social and Psychological Adjustment
This research investigates the effects of epilepsy on the social and psychological adjustment of the children studied in the National Health Interview Survey of 1988. Analyses examine the effect of epilepsy on four measures of adjustment--home behavior problems, school behavior problems, depressed mood, and impulsiveness. For each outcome, we address five questions: (1) Do children with currently active epilepsy have poorer adjustment than childr…

Early Implementation of Proposition 36
This article examines key differences emerging in implementation of California's Proposition 36 voter initiative across eight diverse large, medium, and small counties. The data were collected in 2001 in a key informant survey of county policymakers. Unlike most major California criminal justice initiatives of recent years, Proposition 36 represents a potential lessening of adjudicatory and penal controls rather than an increase in their severity…

The Impact of a Mindfulness Based Program on Perceived Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Sleep of Incarcerated Women
Incarcerated women enter the prison setting with remarkable histories of trauma, mental health and substance abuse issues. Given the stress of incarceration and separation from their children, families, and significant others, it is not surprising that many women experience increased anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep. Due to these negative outcomes, it is imperative to find efficient non-pharmacological interventions. This pilot study …

Pioneering outcomes based innovation in general practice
Introduction: There is increasing interest in the role of general practice as a vehicle of integration. This relates to its potential for direct delivery of an enhanced range of services, its role in the co-ordination of care for those with multiple morbidity and in its relationships with other services and organisations who work in primary and community care. A key issue in realising these aspirations is how to motivate and enable practices to t…

Potential for negative emissions of greenhouse gases (CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O) through coastal peatland re-establishment
High productivity temperate wetlands that accrete peat via belowground biomass (peatlands) may be managed for climate mitigation benefits due to their global distribution and notably negative emissions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) through rapid storage of carbon (C) in anoxic soils. Net emissions of additional greenhouse gases (GHG)—methane (CH _4 ) and nitrous oxide (N _2 O)—are more difficult to predict and monitor due to fine-scale t…
