NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is an Integrated Care System that coordinates health and care services across Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdonshire, Fenland and East Cambridgeshire. It works with a range of organisations including Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, East of England Ambulance Service, Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council to plan, commission and deliver services. The ICS engages with national bodies such as NHS England, Department of Health and Social Care, Care Quality Commission and Public Health England to align local priorities with national frameworks.
The ICS emerged from a series of reforms following the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and local reconfigurations involving clinical commissioning groups like Cambridgeshire and Peterbury CCG and NHS Peterborough CCG, building on earlier collaborations between Addenbrooke's Hospital, Royal Papworth Hospital, The Rosie Hospital and community providers. Early initiatives referenced models from Sustainability and Transformation Plans and regional strategies developed with partners such as NHS Midlands and East and NHS England North. Major milestones included service redesigns influenced by reports from The King’s Fund, Nuffield Trust and reviews linked to Care Quality Commission inspections at acute and mental health providers.
The ICS operates through a board that brings together executives from trusts such as Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, primary care networks represented by British Medical Association members, local authority leaders from Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, and voluntary sector stakeholders like Age UK and Mind. Governance aligns with statutory duties under legislation including the Clinical Commissioning Group framework and oversight from NHS England. Committees oversee quality, finance, workforce and digital transformation, liaising with regulatory bodies like Care Quality Commission and professional organisations including Royal College of General Practitioners and Royal College of Nursing.
Services span acute care at Addenbrooke's Hospital, maternity services at The Rosie Hospital, cardiac services linked with Royal Papworth Hospital, community nursing coordinated with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and ambulance response via East of England Ambulance Service. Primary care is delivered through networks of GP practices affiliated to British Medical Association and community pharmacies regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council. Mental health and learning disability services are provided in partnership with organisations such as Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, Mind and Centre for Mental Health, while specialist rehabilitation and stroke units work with academic partners like University of Cambridge and research bodies including National Institute for Health and Care Research.
Performance reporting uses indicators from NHS England and inspection outcomes by the Care Quality Commission, benchmarking against national targets such as Referral to Treatment waits, A&E waiting times and Cancer waiting times. Accountability arrangements include oversight by Healthwatch organisations in Cambridge and Peterborough, scrutiny by local authorities including Cambridgeshire County Council and escalation mechanisms with NHS Improvement and Department of Health and Social Care. Published performance reviews reference analyses from think tanks like The King’s Fund and audits aligned with National Audit Office standards.
Budget allocations are negotiated with NHS England and reflect spending across acute trusts such as Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, community providers including Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, primary care networks and social care budgets administered by Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council. Financial controls follow protocols advised by NHS Improvement and audited under principles consistent with the National Audit Office and Treasury guidance. Priorities for capital investment have included schemes linked to Addenbrooke's Hospital expansion, digital transformation projects aligned with NHS Digital and workforce initiatives involving Health Education England.
Integrated care pathways are developed in collaboration with academic institutions such as University of Cambridge, local universities like Anglia Ruskin University, voluntary organisations including Age UK and Mind, and regional providers such as Royal Papworth Hospital and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Partnerships extend to national programmes run by NHS England, research collaborations funded by National Institute for Health and Care Research and workforce planning with Health Education England. Cross-sector working involves housing partners, social care providers and emergency services including East of England Ambulance Service to support initiatives similar to those piloted in other systems like Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Public health responsibilities are coordinated with Public Health England functions devolved to local authorities including Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, and delivered through initiatives targetingNHS Health Check, vaccination campaigns aligned with NHS England immunisation schedules, tobacco control programmes referenced by Action on Smoking and Health and mental health promotion supported by Mind and Centre for Mental Health. Community outreach involves partnerships with Healthwatch groups, voluntary sector organisations such as Age UK, and research studies conducted with University of Cambridge and National Institute for Health and Care Research to evaluate population health interventions.
