Integrated Care Board (ICB)

The Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership and NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care help organisations work better together with people and communities.

They want people across all our boroughs to stay well, whatever their age, and whatever issues or conditions they might be managing. They’re bringing together all the different organisations that support people’s health and social care, so that services can join up and act faster when people need support.

Integrated care means starting with the person, understanding they’ll have different needs as they move through life, and connecting them with the right care.
