The ‘integrated working and social care' spotlight will explore what integrated working really means, why it matters and how it's shaping the future of care and support.

Oliver French, head of national engagement, Skills for Care, said: ‘I'm really pleased that we are shining our spotlight on integrated working in the coming months, as this is such an important topic for everyone working across social care.

‘It's a really exciting time at the moment with developments such as the piloting of neighbourhood health services.

‘Integrated working is ultimately about providing more seamless, person-centred care for those who draw on support. It means people only having to tell their story once and less fragmentation across services. Our spotlight will help bring to life those real, tangible benefits.'
