Latest investigation

Birmingham and Solihull ICS (Live Happy Live Healthy Partnership)

Birmingham and Solihull ICS was one of the worst hit health systems in terms of covid-19 infection and admissions, throughout 2020 and 2021. The ICS' focus was primarily on supporting its acute provider, University Hospitals Birmingham FT, which has one of the largest bed bases in the country and the biggest critical care department.

East London ICS

Before the pandemic, the North East London system had identified its estate as ripe for transformation. St Bartholomew’s Hospital and the Royal London Hospital are both modern and high functioning, but the Victorian-era Whipps Cross is neither of these things.

Dorset ICS (Our Dorset)

Our Dorset Integrated Care System travelled on a unique journey during the pandemic. While facing similar challenges to other systems in the country, including increasing elective backlogs, major staff shortages and high covid bed occupancy levels, the ICS also saw the merger of its two largest acute trusts – Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Poole Hospital in October 2020.
