Here at Ockham, we are always keen to explore how we deliver high quality content to our audiences and this week Ben is trialling something new. In a change to our usual format, Ben has recorded a solo, “bite size” episode offering his thoughts and advice for practices about the implications of the changing healthcare landscape. Starting from the top, with what Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) actually are, how they are comprised and how resources and funding are likely to be organised, onto what the new systems mean for practices and staff on the ground, the influence of the Fuller Report, how we could and should react and where the priorities and challenges lie, we hope you find our latest podcast offering as insightful and informative as ever!
