The use of Integrated Care Systems are becoming increasingly more popular. With this in mind, The Kings Fund offer a programme to equip health and care leaders with the skills needed to collaborate successfully. 

This week, our industry-led long read featured Nicola Walsh, Assistant Director of Leadership and Organisational Development at The King’s Fund, who detailed that 2025 will be a transformational year for health and social care – particularly through the use of Integrated Care Systems

With this in mind, The King’s Fund have supplied us with a video outlining their Building Collaborative Leadership programme – a scheme created for health and care leaders to upgrade their skillset to ensure they can work well across organisations. 

The course takes place once a month for eight months at The King’s Fund headquarters in London. Leaders who decide to sign up will be put into a group comprised of no more than 16 people and will be given the opportunity to learn from guest speakers.

Previous participants have sung the praises of the scheme, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. 

Nicola Dekker, Clincial Leader at the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, said: ‘It was like food that nourished me at a time when I really needed it.’ 

Echoing a similar tone, Harriet Smith, Head of Therapies at NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Bard, added: ‘A lot of what I learned on the course was about how it can be more effective to do things at a pace that’s a bit slower.’
