This seminar will assess the progress and practicalities of moving towards health and social care integration in Wales.

The agenda includes a keynote address from Professor Marcus Longley, Professor of Applied Health Policy and Director, Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care, University of South Wales.

It is scheduled as the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act is implemented and following the 2014 release of the Welsh Government’s Framework for Delivering Integrated Health and Social Care for Older People with Complex Needs.

Sessions will examine progress and remaining challenges for integrating health and social care, including:

• Practicalities for implementation – integrating budgets and structures, workforce and IT systems;
• Partnership working – next steps for building effective collaboration between local authorities and NHS to avoid disruption and overlap of health and social care services;
• Delivering patient centred care –
• Impact of the Intermediate Care Fund since its introduction and the next steps to drive forward integration between health, social care, housing and the voluntary sector.
