Social Care Institute for Excellence Webinar: Voluntary sector partnerships: the vital cornerstone of integrated care systems

The Social Care Institute for Excellence is hosting a webinar on Tuesday 30th November 12:00pm – 1.25pm. This webinar will explore the importance of the voluntary, community and social enterprise VCSE sector contribution in shaping, improving and delivering services, and developing and implementing plans to tackle the wider determinants of health. It will look at how to effectively include this diverse and creative sector in emergent ICB structures and models.
