Health and social care integration

The West Sussex Health and Care Partnership was established in 2020  to deliver the objectives of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the Sussex-wide Integrated Care Strategy 'Improving Lives Together' through the Shared Delivery Plan.

We work together to focus on population health and prevention, and to deliver high-quality, joined-up care, through integrated models, such as the district-based Local Community Networks. Our goals are to: 

• Address health inequalities
  • Tailoring our services to the meet the needs of our populations
  • Making care more personalised
• Integrate models of care
  • Removing barriers between services that support the same people
  • Creating more sustainable models of care

• Transform the way we do things
  • Improving our services where it will have the greatest impact
  • Reviewing our joint transformation priorities annually

We have developed two key programmes of work for adult social care to deliver in partnership with the NHS.

• Improving hospital discharge
• Extending intermediate care services
