Regular readers of my blog will recall that I have been saying for some time that the NHS is going to need some help from beyond its culture. This is specifically the case when it is developing something that is both as new and as difficult as integrated care for NHS patients. I have written a few times about the need for organisations to specifically act as integrators bringing very different providers together to create a patient pathway.
From today I, and a few others, are setting up a company called LTC Ltd. as one of these integrators. Our aim is to help develop integrated care for NHS patients. The company, and myself as a part of it, will be bidding for work from NHS commissioners.
