Why should you use Futures?
Collaborating within and across health and care systems is challenging. As the number and types of organisations increase, so do the differences in infrastructure and culture and the use of multiple tools. Using Futures as the core collaboration tool helps overcome these challenges because it is a single platform open to everyone working in health and care.
We did research and interviews with 24 users from senior and mid-managerial levels working for NHS organisations in 15 ICS areas, capturing examples of good practice. Our findings helped us identify the issues that ICS are facing when collaborating digitally. To help you overcome these, we've published our Digital Collaboration Guide to help you get started.
Workspace search
There are over thousands of workspaces on Futures, all working on different projects, programmes, and areas of interest. Some are for focussed colloboration on a particular project, others are disseminating information across the health and care sector, and others are interest groups, where peers share knowledge and ideas.
Search by ICS or find other relevant workspaces.
