NORTH CUMBRIA Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust
NCIC interacts with partners and the broader community to combine health and care for patients as an integrated care organisation.
The former Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust collaborated with partners in the larger North Cumbria Health and Care System to become one of the first 14 areas in the country to be confirmed as an Integrated Care System before the formation of the Trust on October 1, 2019.
NCIC, which is now a single Trust, wants to get more active in the community, not merely to care for individuals but also to improve their well-being. In June 2019, the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System was established. NCIC will be able to interact more easily throughout the area on similar concerns like service sustainability as a result of this.
KNOW THE LOCATION
Cumbria is a non-metropolitan ceremonial county in North West England. Carlisle is the county town of Cumbria, which is located in the county's north-western corner. The North East and Cumbria are two of the most affordable regions in the United Kingdom. You will be amazed at how much further your money goes when there are no compromises on the quality of property, culture, food, and entertainment available. The region provides excellent value, with housing costs that are lower than the national average.
Education
The number of schools in the North West that give a good or excellent education has increased in the recent year. The proportion of schools classified as good or outstanding grew by six percentage points to 80 per cent from the previous year. In the North West, 37 per cent of the 1,114 schools assessed in the previous year had improved, 43 per cent had remained the same, and just 17 per cent had worsened since their last inspection.
To a large extent, primary schools outweigh good secondary schools.
In Sefton, for example, 94% of children attend good or excellent elementary schools, but just 56% attend good or excellent secondary schools.

The Lakes Line, which connects Oxenholme Lake District and Windermere, is one of Cumbria's most stunning lines. Barrow-in-Furness is served by the Furness Line, which runs from Barrow-in-Furness to Carnforth and then to Lancaster. The Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness and goes through Hadrian's Wall region, and the Tyne Valley Line, which extends from Carlisle to Newcastle.

Cumbria's arts and culture scene is likewise thriving. The theatre by the Lake, near Keswick on the banks of Derwentwater, has been dubbed "the most magnificently positioned theatre in England" by The Telegraph. Throughout the county, there are numerous arts and music venues where you may see a range of exhibitions and events.
