The Department of Health and Social Care and Hospice Isle of Man are to be key players in a new international forum promoting integrated care.

This week the Isle of Man will be unveiled as one of three jurisdictions at the forefront of a Special Interest Group (SIG) at a conference in Spain.

The forum is designed for Islands to learn from each other and share experience in creating successful, sustainable healthcare systems for their populations.

A small delegation from the DHSC will be attending the 19th International Conference on Integrated Care taking place in San Sebastien.
