South West London Integrated Care System
In Wandsworth, we are part of the South West London Integrated Care System (ICS). This is a partnership of primary care, hospital, social care, mental health and voluntary and community health and care services.
As they are such a large organisation, our work with the ICS is key to everything we do.
In particular, it is only with the support of the ICS that we have been able to develop the Community Health and Wellbeing Worker project. They have championed and developed this alongside us and other partners.
