About us

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside – the integrated care board (ICB) for the region – is responsible for planning NHS services for our population, which includes the care you receive at your GP practice, local pharmacy, NHS dentist, NHS opticians, or at hospital.

We serve a population of over 2.7m people across Cheshire EastCheshire WestHaltonKnowsleyLiverpoolSeftonSt HelensWarrington and Wirral.

Working alongside the wider integrated care partnership, ICBs have four key aims:

  • Improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
  • Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
  • Enhance productivity and value for money
  • Help the NHS support broader social and economic development

To support our vision, local health and care services are working together, as equal partners, to support seamless, person-centred care and tackle health inequalities by improving the lives of the poorest fastest.

Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership

Our health is affected by many things – housing, unemployment, financial stress, domestic abuse, poverty and lifestyle choices. This can only truly be addressed via a partnership between the NHS, local government and other health and care partners across the region.

Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership – our statutory integrated care partnership – consists of representatives from across our communities, the NHS, local authorities, voluntary sector, housing, police, education and fire and rescue, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations, independent healthcare providers and local businesses.

Our Interim Strategy sets out how we are working together to address the key challenges facing people across Cheshire and Merseyside, ensuring the voice of our communities is at the heart of everything we do.

Our shared key aim is to tackle health inequalities in outcomes, experiences and access. As a ‘Marmot Community’, we are truly committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our population through our eight Marmot principles:

  • Give every child the best start in life
  • Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives
  • Create fair employment and good work for all
  • Ensure a healthy standard of living for all
  • Create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities
  • Strengthen the role and impact of ill health prevention
  • Tackle racism, discrimination and their outcomes
  • Pursue environmental sustainability and health equity together.

We have also developed a set of “Beacon Indicators” to support measurement of our progress, which can be found below in our landmark report, All Together Fairer: Health Equity and the Social Determinants of Health in Cheshire and Merseyside.
