Shape the Future of Public Care at IPC

We work collaboratively with a diverse range of partners, including local authorities, health services, and care providers, to develop innovative solutions that enhance service delivery and outcomes. Working at IPC means being at the forefront of public care innovation, contributing to meaningful projects that make a tangible difference in communities across the UK.

IPC is a thriving business. Whilst we operate independently as a small knowledge exchange unit, we are part of Oxford Brookes University, giving us the scale and resources to deliver large consultancy and evaluation projects and provide accreditation to training and development programmes.
