Integrated Care For All: Promoting Health and Wellbeing Through Diversity
Scientific Committee
The International Scientific Committee is made up of international and UK experts from research, policy and practice.
Chaired by Professor Robin Miller from the University of Birmingham and a Co-Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Integrated Care, the International Scientific Committee leads the reviewing process which determines much of the content of ICIC26.
Members will consider abstracts reflecting good practice in research, policy, practice and education from the United Kingdom and around the world and provide feedback on how their contribution can be further strengthened.
The International Scientific Committee (IS) includes people with lived experience including patients, those who have been supported by social care, and caregivers.
