About our Integrated Care System
Our partnership represents a dynamic and diverse place at the centre of the nation.
Birmingham, a vibrant city, the most youthful city in Europe; the UK’s second biggest metro economy. Partnered with Solihull borough, a leading driver of economic growth in the region; ranked one of the best places to live in the country, with a green, high quality environment. Together, greater than the sum of our parts.
Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System (ICS) is a collaboration of all health and social care organisations, including NHS, local authority and the voluntary and community sector. Our partnership represents the biggest opportunity in a generation for the most radical overhaul in the way health and social care services are designed and delivered. Coming into being in July 2022, it will provide for the first time a real opportunity to ensure all of those agencies act with a single voice and strategic approach in tackling the inequalities that have beset Birmingham and Solihull for too long.
