About us

The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System is a partnership between the county's NHS and care organisations. The organisations and professionals have come together to form a family. All parts of our family have different and vital roles, all rely on each other to maximise their potential, and all are equally valued.

When our local population need us to support their health and wellbeing, ensure high quality joined up care and to support their community, we are there.

When the NHS was set up in the 1940s its aim was to treat symptoms. But it has come a long way since then, supporting people to live healthier lives. This change is continuing along that journey and aims to make social care and health even more aligned. Our health is affected by many things - housing, unemployment, financial stress, domestic abuse, poverty, and lifestyle choices. This is something that we need to look at through a partnership between the NHS, local government, and the voluntary sector.
