The One Gloucestershire Integrated Care Strategy has been developed by the One Gloucestershire Health & Wellbeing Partnership, based upon engagement with the public and in discussion with wider stakeholders across Gloucestershire.
This interim version of the strategy builds on the work already in place across Gloucestershire, whilst recognising that working in a formalised partnership allows for greater ambition. This document is designed to guide health and care organisations, staff, voluntary and community sector, and people and communities, to work together to achieve the common goals and vision.
It sets out where, through working together, the county is making transformational changes in health, care and wellbeing; and details our ambitions for the future.
The strategy is based around three pillars:
- Making Gloucestershire a better place for the future
- Transforming what we do
- Improving health and care services today
- Guidance on the preparation of integrated care strategies

Joint Forward Plan (5-year plan)
Our One Gloucestershire Joint Forward Plan (JFP) describes how we will deliver and improve the health and care elements of the integrated care strategy. The JFP has been written based on the work and contributions of many colleagues from all parts of our system, and developed over the last six months through an extensive programme of conversations with partner organisations, programme boards and forums, and with our the Gloucestershire Health and Wellbeing Board.
The JFP will be refreshed annually to ensure it reflects progress as well as the evolving needs of the residents of Gloucestershire. It is developed in conjunction with our annual operational plan to ensure our performance ambitions for the coming year are up to date; these key projects that will contribute towards these ambitions are presented in more detail in a companion document to the JFP. This provides the foundation for improvement programmes that work towards our long-term goals to reduce health inequalities and improve the wellbeing of our population through the prevention of ill-health
Finally, the JFP clearly describes how we meet the seventeen legislative requirements of Integrated Care Systems. These requirements underpin everything we do in delivering and improving our services, and understanding that impact of those improvements as we embark upon each annual refresh of the JFP.
