Our role

Our NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (NHS Gloucestershire) is responsible for planning and buying services to meet the health needs of local people.

It also brings partners together to ensure the county’s NHS provides the best possible care. Alongside our communities, we want to improve health, improve access to high quality care and support when needed and make Gloucestershire a better place for the future.

Health and care services are still available in people’s homes, GP surgeries, communities and in hospitals, but partners work ever more closely together to plan and provide advice, support and care.

We work hand in glove with our One Gloucestershire Health and Wellbeing Partnership – ensuring a joined-up approach across health, social care, public health and the wider public, voluntary and community sector.
