The BLMK Integrated Research & Innovation Hub

Integrated care shifts emphasis away from institutional re-organisation, towards a more collaborative, systems-thinking approach in health and social care. The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences in the University of Bedfordshire hosts the Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) Integrated Care Research and Innovation Hub, which aims to practically support regional stakeholders with making positive, step changes in health and social care. The Hub works closely with the BLMK Integrated Care Board to ascertain user needs, support innovation and address health and social care inequalities.

Seven principles for Implementation and Research:

  1. User-centred health and social care
  2. People as partners in planning and delivering care
  3. Resilient communities
  4. Innovation and sustainability
  5. System-wide governance
  6. Workforce capacity
  7. Equality and diversity
