Integrated Care Northamptonshire

What Integrated Care Northamptonshire does

Integrated Care Northamptonshire (legal name: NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board) is the statutory NHS body responsible for commissioning and coordinating local NHS services, performance and budgets across Northamptonshire, England. Formed on 1 July 2022 and accountable to NHS England, it brings together two acute trusts (Kettering General Hospital and Northampton General Hospital), Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, all local GP practices, two unitary authorities (North Northamptonshire Council and West Northamptonshire Council), and voluntary and community partners to deliver joined-up health and social care to a population of approximately 845,000 residents.

Its technology stack centres on two digital platforms. The Northamptonshire Care Record (NCR), launched October 2023 and powered by Graphnet Health, is a shared care record combining GP, acute, community, mental health and West Northamptonshire adult social care data; it has connected 10,000+ health and care professionals, recorded 1 million+ cumulative logins and now serves more than 830,000 individuals, with embedded Digital ReSPECT plans and, from June 2026, the Electronic Palliative Care Coordination System (EPaCCS), the latter also surfaced through the NHS National Record Locator. The Northamptonshire Analytical Reporting Platform (NARP) is a population health management tool incorporating the Johns Hopkins ACG System for risk stratification and segmentation, with dashboards covering Core20PLUS5, diabetes, mental health, multimorbidity and health inequalities. Operational delivery is augmented by two Community Diagnostic Centres in Corby and Kings Heath (£16.64m over three years) and a Neighbourhood Care Programme piloting same-day access and complex-care models from April 2026.

The organisation is publicly funded through NHS England allocations; no commercial pricing applies and services are free at the point of use. Revenue mechanics are therefore budgetary rather than transactional, and go-to-market is effectively statutory — partners are integrated by mandate and policy direction rather than commercial sales motion. The ICB has been recognised at HSJ Digital Awards 2026 (Improving Mental Health through Digital, Digital Innovator of the Year) and was Highly Commended for Digital Transformation Organisation of the Year.
