This guidance for Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) provides a structure which local Healthwatch and the Integrated Care System (ICS) can use and adapt to reach an agreement on how they will work together.
This Guidance is designed to use existing and emerging guidance and legislation, whilst also taking into consideration the differences that exist across systems.
Before you start drafting an Memorandum of Understanding with your ICS, you should work with other local Healthwatch to develop a collaboration agreement. This will help you determine a shared understanding of how you want to work together with other local Healthwatch first. To do this, check out our Collaboration Toolkit, which gives you a step by step guide on how you can build a solid working relationship with other Healthwatch.
