Integrated Care 24

Staff at integrated care provider IC24 marked the memory of Captain Sir Tom Moore by following in his footsteps with an internal fundraising campaign to boost morale and raise money for valuable charities.

The not-for-profit organisation invited its team to get together virtually to walk or run a collective 1,000 miles or 2,244,100 steps between March 15 and April 15 to support NHS Charities Together, the same organisation Captain Tom raised £33m for during the first lockdown.

IC24 has been at the forefront of urgent care since the early 1990s, growing from a small group of GP cooperatives to a large social enterprise serving over six million people. The team of around 1,200 people work around the clock providing urgent care across Kent, Sussex, Essex, and Norfolk and Waveney, including the NHS 111 service, clinical assessment services, face-to-face appointments and home visiting.

These services are designed to relieve the pressure on the emergency care sector by avoiding unnecessary 999 call outs - over nine million people are sent home every year from A&E having only needed advice. The only urgent care provider to have developed its own clinical patient management system - CLEO Systems – IC24 uses its in-house technology to provide patients with urgent care in the right place at the right time.

IC24, which also provides primary care services at three prisons on the Isle of Sheppey, runs back to the floor feedback sessions and staff can email Chief Executive, Andrew Catto, with any questions.
