Working for our organisation

NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) is a statutory body responsible for planning and allocating health and care resources to improve the lives of people in our five boroughs: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington.

As an ICB, we’re focused on:

·       improving outcomes in population health and healthcare

·       tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access

·       enhancing productivity and value for money

·       helping the NHS support broader social and economic development.

It is an exciting time to be joining NCL ICB – we have commenced an organisational change programme to redesign the structure of the organisation and the way that we work to better meet the needs of our population, our people, our system, and our partners. As part of the organisational change programme, we want to re-launch and re-energise the organisation, embed new ways of working and building the capabilities we need to create a thriving organisational culture.
