ICB merges introduced 1st April 2026
Yesterday, the new ICB structure came into effect.
A combination of mergers and clusters means the environment now looks something like the image below.
How do your sales structures marry up to these? Now is a great time to review and realign, to ensure your territories are fit for the future NHS.
