As an integrated care system of health and care partners, we have a shared vision to work better together to make Northamptonshire a place where people are active, confident and empowered to take responsibility for good health and wellbeing, with quality integrated support and services available for them when they need help.
The NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board Five-Year Joint Forward Plan sets out how we are working to achieve this vision, linking directly with the Northamptonshire Integrated Care Partnership ‘Live Your Best Life’ Strategy, published earlier in 2023, and also with the Health and Wellbeing Board Strategies for North and West Northamptonshire.

We will listen to our communities and ensure their voices are heard as we continue to develop the activity set out in our plan over the five-year plan period.
