Provision of local healthcare in the East Midlands

The East Midlands region covers the following Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs)/Integrated Care Systems (ICSs):

• Derbyshire STP
• Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland STP
• Lincolnshire STP
• Northamptonshire STP
• Nottinghamshire ICS

NHS Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) were established in 2016 to bring local health and care leaders together to plan around the long-term needs of local communities. STPs are made up of NHS commissioning organisations (clinical commissioning groups - CCGs), and NHS providers, including NHS trusts and foundation trusts and primary care services, as well as local authorities and others. Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are developing from STPs, as a new type of even closer collaboration. In an ICS, NHS organisations, in partnership with local councils and others, take collective responsibility for managing resources, delivering NHS standards, and improving the health of the population they serve. The plan is for all STP areas to eventually develop into an ICS by April 2021.

Links to the websites of each STP/ICS in the East Midlands region, with additional links to each areas’ strategic plan and constituent NHS organisations, can be found below:

There are 15 NHS trusts/foundations trusts in the region. A number of NHS organisations also operate across the whole of the East Midlands region, including:

• NHS England and NHS Improvement Midlands and East of England
• East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust

• East Midlands Clinical Senate. The East Midlands Clinical Senate is one of 12 clinical senates across the country which have been established to be a source of independent, strategic advice and guidance to commissioners, STPs, ICSs and others.
