Reform in the NHS structure is long overdue to improve people’s health and deliver better-quality care in a joined-up way. But how do ICSs work on a national and local level? And what will these new systems mean for organisations that make up the NHS, as well as the general population?

Our planet and our health are inextricably interlinked. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the resources that we consume for livelihoods, shelter, healing and recreation all determine our quality of life and well-being.

The consequences of unsustainable production and consumption have disturbed the balance of our environment. Climate change, more frequent and intense natural disasters, biodiversity loss and pollution are all disproportionately affecting the people who are least capable of protecting themselves. In terms of health impacts ...
