About Us
Our Story and Group Overview
Integrated Health Care Group (IHCM) is a UK-based integrated healthcare management organisation overseeing a portfolio of specialist and well-established healthcare services operating across hospital, residential and community-based settings.
The services within the group include a number of long-standing hospitals and care settings, many of which have operated for decades and are recognised for their specialist expertise and contribution to service user care. These services have built strong reputations within their respective fields, working closely with the NHS, local authorities, commissioners and regulatory bodies to support individuals with complex mental health, physical health and long-term care needs.
IHCM provides the group-level framework that brings these services together under a single organisational umbrella. This approach enables alignment in clinical governance, quality assurance and operational standards, while deliberately preserving the individual heritage, professional identity and specialist focus of each service.
As a group, IHCM is responsible for setting clear expectations around governance, oversight and accountability. This ensures consistency and assurance across all care settings, while allowing frontline teams to focus on delivering high-quality, person-centred care within environments that are safe, regulated and fit for purpose.
Through this integrated model, Integrated Health Care Group supports stability, transparency and sustainability across its services, providing confidence for service users, families, professionals and partners alike.

Integrated Health Care Management in Practice
Each service within the group operates within its own clinical and operational context, yet all are supported by shared frameworks that promote consistency in standards, reporting and governance.
At group level, this integrated approach brings together clinical governance, safeguarding, quality assurance, risk management and operational oversight in a way that supports both the people receiving care and the professionals delivering it. By drawing on shared experience and collective learning across the group, services are able to uphold high standards while remaining responsive to the needs of individuals and the communities they serve.
This structure is particularly important within complex care environments, where service users may experience long treatment journeys, multiple transitions or overlapping health and social care needs. Integrated oversight supports clearer accountability, stronger communication and continuity of care across settings.
Specialist Mental Health Hospitals
A key part of IHCM’s portfolio is its network of specialist mental health hospitals, which provide structured inpatient care for individuals with acute, complex and enduring mental health conditions.
Hospitals within the group include Apple Hill Hospital, Southern Hill Hospital, Battersea Bridge House Hospital, Magna House, Elizabeth House, and other specialist sites such as Waterloo, Manor, Sturdee, Southleigh, Woodleigh and Beach House. These hospitals are recognised for managing high-acuity presentations and, in many cases, supporting service users detained under the Mental Health Act.
Care within these settings is delivered by multidisciplinary clinical teams operating within highly regulated environments. Services focus on assessment, treatment, stabilisation, therapeutic intervention and safe transition or discharge planning, always guided by legal, ethical and regulatory frameworks.
IHCM hospitals work closely with NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and independent commissioners. Group-level oversight ensures these services operate with strong clinical governance, clear accountability and effective reporting structures, while maintaining their specialist therapeutic models and professional autonomy.
Residential Care, Supported Living and Community Services
Alongside hospital provision, IHCM supports long-term and community-based care through its residential and supported living services, primarily delivered through Valorum Care Group.
These services support individuals with acquired brain injury, complex neurological and physical conditions, cancer-related care needs, and age-related conditions, including elderly care. Many residents require long-term or lifelong support, delivered within environments designed to promote dignity, stability and quality of life.
Rather than focusing solely on clinical intervention, these services emphasise person-centred living, recognising the importance of routine, independence, relationships and emotional wellbeing. Support is tailored to individual needs and delivered by trained teams with specialist expertise in complex care environments.
IHCM’s group framework ensures that these services operate within consistent governance and safeguarding standards, while allowing care teams to adapt support to the unique needs of each individual.

Our Mission, Vision and Values
IHCM’s mission is to provide safe, accountable and high-quality care through strong governance, specialist expertise and integrated oversight.
The group’s vision is to be recognised as a trusted healthcare management organisation that supports long-established and specialist services to operate confidently, responsibly and sustainably within a changing healthcare landscape.
This vision is underpinned by core values that include respect for individuals, clinical integrity, transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. These values guide leadership decisions, governance processes and day-to-day operations across the group.
Strategic Framework and Long-Term Direction
IHCM operates with a clear strategic focus on quality, sustainability and responsible growth, recognising that lasting impact in healthcare is built over time rather than through rapid expansion.
Strategic planning at group level is guided by a commitment to strong governance, thoughtful leadership and the long-term wellbeing of the people who rely on our services.
This approach places particular emphasis on strengthening governance frameworks, supporting and developing the workforce, and continually enhancing quality assurance processes. By investing in these foundations, IHCM ensures that services are not only effective today but are also equipped to remain safe, resilient and compliant as healthcare standards, regulatory requirements and clinical best practice continue to evolve.
The group takes a measured and considered approach to development. Decisions about growth or change are carefully assessed against their potential impact on care quality, staff capacity and service sustainability. This allows IHCM to respond to emerging healthcare needs and commissioning priorities without compromising the standards, stability or integrity of existing services.
Through this balanced and forward-looking strategy, IHCM seeks to maintain consistency, build trust and ensure that every service within the group continues to deliver care that is responsible, well-governed and fit for the future.
