Special interest groups
The ICSA’s special interest groups meet throughout the year covering some of the latest developments and legislation and how these affect the particular sectors. The meetings also provide an opportunity for ICSA Policy to engage with Members and develop policy initiatives.
To be a member of these groups you need to be an ICSA Member, student or affiliate.
Get involved with ADSO/ICSA collaboration
ICSA seeks Members and students with experience of NHS and local government collaboration to contribute to a technical discussion group on the Health and Social Care Bill.
ICSA is working with the Association of Democratic Services officers to develop an implementation paper for aspects of the Health and Social Care Bill where the NHS and local government will be required to work together effectively and efficiently.
If you would like to know more about the discussion group, please contact health@icsa.co.uk.
