Abstract

This chapter elaborates on integrated care in Scotland. The opening section outlines the first horizon—the political and policy landscape, financial and demographic context, stakeholder engagement and introduction of new organisational arrangements. The second section covers important enablers for implementing integrated care. It signposts to local examples of change and considers the challenge of measuring impacts and outcomes. The journey to improve population health and reduce inequalities is the subject of the third section. The chapter concludes with some lessons learned and briefly touches on the implications of the global Covid-19 pandemic, describing one case study which is overcoming what previously seemed unsurmountable barriers to implement new ways of working. It is illustrative of other examples of rapid change throughout the UK linked to Covid-19.
