title: International outlook - Successful service integration.
abstract: MUCH HAS been written recently about the need for greater integration of health and social care services, and of acute and community health service. The challenges these processes present are not unique to the UK and several models of integration from around the world, including the US, have been examined by staff working in the NHS.
