"Supporting Providers in Delivering Quality Care Services"

Independent Health and Care Providers (IHCP) is a non-profit making organisation representing private, voluntary, charitable and church affiliated providers of health and social care. Our members provide nursing and residential homes, housing with care schemes and domiciliary care. Services are provided for older people, for vunerable adults, including those with learning disabilities or mental health problems and for those people with other special needs.

"IHCP is the recognised member organisation for those providing services for vulnerable adults and older people in N. Ireland. Over 11,000 people are cared for by IHCP members in residential and nursing homes, sheltered housing and in the community."

IHCP members provide care for some 11,000 people in residential and nursing homes and thousands of others who either live in housing with care schemes or in their own homes. IHCP members employ approximately 9,500 staff and membership is growing every year.
