ICIC26 Birmingham, UK - 13-15 April 2026

Integrated Care For All: Promoting Health and Wellbeing Through Diversity

The 26th International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC26) in partnership with The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) and the University of Birmingham will take place on 13-15 April 2026. The conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, people with lived experience, clinicians and managers from the UK and around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.

They will explore how integrated care can respond to the needs of diverse people and communities, embrace the skills and knowledge of diverse professionals and practitioners, and develop diverse and innovative interventions which build on the strengths of people and technology. In doing so, the conference will share common opportunities and challenges faced by integrated care programmes and practice and debate potential solutions and learning from local and national developments.

The conference is particularly organised around the following themes:

  1. Improved Outcomes through Community-Based Care
  2. Enhanced Value-Based on Prevention and Technology
  3. Reduced Inequalities with Social & Economic Development
  4. Strengthened Workforce by Growing Capacity, Skills & Inclusivity

 

The Laurel project will be present in an ICIC session on 15 April:

  • Date: Wednesday, 15 April 2026
  • Time: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Session Description: This session examines how digital platforms can support integrated care while raising critical questions about governance, trust, and value. Drawing on international research and practice, the papers explore economic evidence for digital chronic care, tools for assessing digital maturity, lessons from complex tele-rehabilitation procurement, and citizen- and community-controlled data systems. Case studies highlight Indigenous data sovereignty, cross-border preventive health platforms, and large-scale mHealth adoption. Delegates will learn how digital governance, ethical data sharing, and usability shape outcomes, equity, and sustainability, and what it takes to move from promising technology to trusted, system-wide digital integration.
 
Title: A Digital Maturity Assessment Tool for Integrated Long-Term Care: Enabling Preventive, Value-Based, and Technology-Enhanced Services through Equitable, Person-Centred Innovation.
