Integration

The Integration Programme supports the third sector to shape meaningful health and social care integration in Scotland by:

• Championing the third sector as an equal partner in health and social care integration.
• Ensuring lived experience and human rights shape policy and practice.
• Identifying, sharing, and promoting what works in integration across Scotland.
• Bringing people together to build relationships, change cultures, and influence lasting systems change.

We facilitate the IJB Lived Experience Representatives Network, the Community of Practice – Lived Experience, and the Knowledge Hub, a library of resources and guides to support organisations in developing more meaningful engagement with lived experience.

Some recent highlights of the Integration Support team’s activities include The Integration Journey: A decade of health and social care integration in Scotland and Connected Communities case studies series, which highlights how organisations are supporting health and social care integration in their communities.

Our team connects and supports stakeholders in health and social care to drive effective, integrated, person-centred approaches in policy and service design and provision. As part of our integration work, the ALLIANCE works closely with national partners including Health and Social Care Scotland and IFIC Scotland to support learning, collaboration and systems change. Find out more about the support we can offer.
