Joint Position Statement BTS and PCRS - Integrated Care

There is a strong commitment from the British Thoracic Society (BTS) and Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS) to identify opportunities to support those delivering integrated respiratory care and showcase that planned, properly funded, and evaluated integrated solutions can be used to drive improvements in the care of patients.

We value the importance of:

• integration between primary, community and secondary care.
• integration of respiratory care with other long-term conditions.
• integration of both physical and mental health, housing, and social care.

This statement is not intended to be a guidance document or a review of the literature on integrated care.
