Abstract: An integration of British healthcare and social services has been underway in recent years, and a typical methodology has been formed in the process of regional explorations . Using qualitative research methods of on-site observation and in-depth interviews, the paper studies the Care Programme Approach ( CPA) system of mental health and emergency multidisciplinary teams of Oxfordshire, a typical case of the integrated healthcare system re-forms in the British healthcare system. England’s integrated healthcare reforms have placed primary care and commu-nity health services at the center of the healthcare system and have included social services within the system. The ex-periences of multidisciplinary teams, integrated care pathways, personalized care planning and patient involvement and independence from the reforms are worthy subjects of study for China’s own healthcare delivery system reforms.
