On 1 July a new Integrated Care System (ICS) in mid and south Essex will be formed which marks a new way of health and care organisations working together to make a positive difference to the lives of 1.2 million residents living in mid and south Essex.

To support the launch of the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System, a new is being unveiled campaign called Moments that Matter. It showcases those real-life Moments that Matter through the eyes of local people, where joined-up working has resulted in better outcomes for residents and the service provided.

Across mid and south Essex there are over 45,000 health and care staff doing amazing things every day to support residents to live happier and healthier lives. Many of these things could not be achieved without staff from different teams and organisations working in partnership.

Watch a two-minute video about the Moments that Matter campaign.

The first resident story film to launch the Moments that Matter campaign tells the story of Tina, a homeless lady from Southend.

The ‘Moment that Mattered’ to her was the professionals involved in her care supporting her physical and mental health, collectively, rather than in isolation in a new model to integrated care delivering the aspirations of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Find out more about Tina’s experiences.
