An integrated approach to neuroscience care: An innovative model to support the new integrated care system.

ABSTRACT: Integrated care systems join up health and care services, so that people have the support they need, in the right place, at the right time. The aims include improving outcomes in healthcare, tackling inequalities in access and enhancing productivity and value for money. This is needed for neuroscience care as the traditional delivery of neuroscience care is inefficient, outdated and expensive, and can involve complex referral pathways and long waiting times. In preparation for the formation of the integrated care system (ICS), a novel innovative collaboration across multiple NHS trusts developed across North Central London in 2021. We developed a model where neuroscience specialists engage in collaborative care with clinicians outside the specialist hospital setting. Pivotal to the pathway
