VCSE Partnership Programme and Integrated Care System Resources

Our North East and North Cumbria Partnership programme aims to connect Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations with Heath and Care structures across the Integrated Care System (ICS). As the structure that replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups, there's a lot to learn and an ever-evolving set of resources for both our Programme, and the ICS.
