Creating and planning effective integrated care systems is challenging

Whether it’s a provider collaborative or a place-based partnership, our Integrated Care Systems hub page includes a wide range of resources to help provide answers and guidance on a variety of legal issues specifically for professionals working at systems, place-based or neighbourhood levels.

This was a complex brief that needed to satisfy the DPO’s in each partner organisation who each had varying levels of expertise and organisational risk tolerance. Set against a backdrop of the pandemic Mills and Reeve created a comprehensive document that is now regarded as an exemplar for other regions going through the same process.

“We commissioned Mills & Reeve to develop a legal agreement for public and independent sector provider organisations working together. The work was potentially extremely challenging and complex with little precedent. We were very impressed with the manner in which the firm approached and facilitated the work which ensured all organisations were on board and we managed to achieve consensus.”

"We knew we would need a partner to help us through the level of complexity involved. …Mills & Reeve offered us that expertise. Their level of knowledge of the legislation across both the NHS and local Government combined with their ability to work as a part of our team has been exceptional … helped us travel much further, much faster with less unmanaged conflict and tension on our journey."

"Mills & Reeve led us through the development of our Provider Collaborative …A strong focus of discussion was governance …It is clear that the M&R Team have significant experience in this area and their input was invaluable in supporting us to reach consensus and agree a Partnership Agreement that will support us in our journey as a Provider Collaborative."
