IFIC Forum Discussion on Purpose

This Forum Discussion explored Shared Purpose, one of the Nine Pillars of Integrated Care, examining how a common vision can support collaboration across organisations, professions and communities.

Bringing together international experts, the session considered why shared purpose is essential for integrated care, how it can be co-created with people and communities, and what leadership, governance and system changes are needed to turn shared ambition into coordinated action.

The discussion highlighted practical lessons from different health and care systems, reinforcing that shared purpose must be reflected in behaviours, relationships and accountability if integrated care is to succeed.
