How do we turn integrated care policy into meaningful change on the ground?

This session explores how health and care systems can move beyond strategy into implementation, translating ambition into coordinated, person-centred practice. It will examine the realities of working across complex systems, including governance, workforce, culture and leadership.

Drawing on international experience, the discussion will highlight practical approaches to bridging policy and practice, supporting collaboration and sustaining change at scale.

The session will be co-chaired by:
โ€ข Chris Naylor, Senior Fellow, The King's Fund
โ€ข Ms Phoebe Dunn, Senior Policy Fellow, The Health Foundation
โ€ข Ms Sarah Reed, Senior Fellow, Nuffield Trust

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ โ€œA woman who wove paths and succeeded in intertwining hearts.โ€ โ™ฅ๏ธ

The deeply mourns the passing of Dr. Rocรญo Sรกenz, General Coordinator of our network.

A public health physician, academic, and leader committed to social justice, she dedicated her life to defending the right to health, advancing equity, and strengthening health systems in our region.

Her legacy in public health in Costa Rica and across the Americas will endure in the institutions she helped strengthen, in the people she mentored, and in the causes she championed with conviction.

We honor her life and renew our commitment to continue working for health equity in the Americas, inspired by her example.

๐ŸฅUpcoming Virtual Community Session

Primary care reform is underway across Canada. But are we building better systems or better silos?

Primary health care is essential to integrated care, yet its potential as the foundation for coordinated, person-centred systems remains largely unrealised. Across the country, jurisdictions are advancing reform, testing new models and new ways of working.

Primary care cannot achieve person-centred care in isolation. It must connect with community supports, specialist services and the wider health system.

Join us to explore what is emerging across jurisdictions, what it will take to enable more connected and sustainable change, and the practical pathways to get there.
