This report draws on published literature about joining up and co-ordinating care homes and health services. It also draws on interviews with a range of providers, local authorities and CCGs. It aims to help care homes and NHS providers (including GPs), local authorities and CCGs who are thinking through how to join up and co‑ordinate services locally and how to manage the complexities involved. Accordingly, our focus is primarily on the leadership, management and practice
implications rather than the experience of care home residents
