NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a strategic component of the Integrated Care System (ICS) across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. We were formed with the intention to improve population health and collaborate with local partners (NHS, Local Authority and Third Sector) to deliver high quality health and social care provision to our local population. 

We have accountability for the system delivery of the ICS’ priorities such as improving outcomes in population health and healthcare, tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access, enhancing productivity and value for money, and helping the NHS support broader social and economic development.

We seek to improve the patient experience and are committed at looking at innovative ways we can improve care and offer access and choice to our patients. Patients are at the heart of everything we do and it’s important that they are involved not just in decisions about their individual care, but also in the decisions that shape the health services delivered locally. In conjunction, with patient experience and the growing demands of our population; we are facing significant financial challenge. We are required to reduce expenditure to sustainable levels (ICS 5-year strategic plan). 

The ambitions are great, but so are the opportunities to be part of our new and evolving organisation, to make positive impactful change to the health and social care agenda across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
