All about: The Integrated care systems (ICS) and Kingston Place
Integrated care systems are being made law across the country meaning a joined up approach to care for populations at different levels: neighbourhoods, places and systems.
For Kingston this means being part of a wider South West London strategy which includes representatives from the NHS, Local Authority and Voluntary Sector.

Kingston Place Update
What is Place?
The Integrated Care System (ICS) is about connecting different levels of care at a 'neighbourhood' level (30,000 - 50,000 people), 'place' level (250,000 - 500,000 people), and 'systems' level (1-3 million people).
The South West London Integrated Care System is made up of six places (boroughs) servicing a population of 1.5 million. These six Places are co-terminus with our six Local Authority boroughs: Kingston upon Thames, Richmond upon Thames, Wandsworth, Merton, Croydon and Sutton.
There are 41 local neighbourhoods within these places. These 41 neighbourhoods are aligned with the Primary Care Networks that have served their communities since they were established in 2019.
