Cross‐organisational staff liabilities in integrated care settings: The first higher court decision

The purpose of this paper is to consider the implications for integrated care of a recent Court of Appeal judgment about legal obligations owed to staff working in integrated care.

Analysis of the law relating to the imposition of duties of care and how that law was applied in the integrated care context.

It was found that integrated care partners may find themselves with more extensive legal obligations towards the employees of partner organisations than had been anticipated.

The article assesses the first decision of the higher courts about the obligations owed to staff by non‐employing integrated care providers.
