The Black Country Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) is a statutory committee jointly formed between the NHS Integrated Care Board, the four councils in the Black Country, the Police, fire, and education.
These members have been meeting regularly to improve the care, health, and wellbeing of the population. They discuss how to:
- improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
- tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
- enhance productivity and value for money
- help the NHS support broader social and economic development.
Integrated Care Strategy
The ICP has produced an integrated care strategy on how to meet the health and wellbeing needs of the population in the Black Country. The strategy which is available to download below, builds on and complements the work of the Health and Wellbeing Boards in each area, but looks at the additionality that can be brought through system level working.
The Partnership will hold partners (including the ICB) to account for playing their part in delivering the strategy.
Following the development of an Integrated Care Strategy, in August 2023, the ICP Prevention and Personalisation Strategic Forum was formed.
The ICP Prevention and Personalisation Strategic Forum has a remit to:
- develop collaborative working arrangements under the oversight of the ICP
- define how our broader prevention and personalisation work will support delivery of the Integrated Care Strategy.
In February 2024, the ICP Board gave the ICP Prevention and Personalisation Strategic Forum a mandate to coproduce a strategic framework.
Our partnership committee
Our partnership committee meets every three months (quarterly) and core members are drawn from the Black Country ICB, local authorities, the Police, fire, and education.
