Welcome to the evidence base for integrated care which has been developed by staff at research in practice for adults and our Associate, Peter Thistlethwaite, in partnership with the Integrated Care Network (ICN).

The evidence base is aimed at staff in health and social care who are dealing with the integration agenda on a daily basis, and will help you to access the most up-to-date evidence on integrated care in a quick and easy format.  It provides accessible summaries of relevant, good quality evidence published since January 2000, and gives key messages for practice, providing information that can be used on its own as well as signposting other relevant research.  Should you be interested in learning more, summaries are fully referenced to enable you to locate the full article.

You can go directly to the evidence base but if this is your first visit or you would like more information, you may find it helpful to look at the background to the evidence base below.
