Integrating social care into healthcare

In Australia, integrated care is often centred around the traditional healthcare system. Internationally, we’re increasingly seeing social care, and by extension legal help, included in this collaborative approach as a way to address complex and intersecting needs.

Dr Niamh Lennox-Chhugani, Chief Executive of the International Foundation for Integrated Care, joins Health Justice Australia for a conversation about how integrated care is approached around the world, what we can learn from the work of others in this area, and opportunities for change to better meet the needs of the people using health and social services

The International Foundation for Integrated Care is a not-for-profit educational network that crosses organisational and professional boundaries to bring people together to advance the science, knowledge and adoption of integrated care policy and practice. The Foundation seeks to achieve this through the development and exchange of ideas among academics, researchers, managers, clinicians, policy makers and users and carers of services throughout the world.
