The Black Country ICS is hosting the next round of virtual development workshops to keep everyone informed of the way that health and care are working together.
The workshops will take place during October, November and December, with each one focused around the following themes – place-based partnerships, provider collaboratives and health inequalities.
Stakeholders, including health and care staff from NHS and Local Authorities, primary care colleagues, community and voluntary sector partners, patient and public representatives are all encouraged to attend.

Background
On 1 July 2022, the Black Country ICS was formed and within it the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Black Country Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).
Our ICS, known as Healthier Futures, brings providers and commissioners of NHS services together with local authorities and other local partners to plan and deliver joined up health and care services, and to improve the lives of people who live and work in the Black Country.
Recognising that this is new, we are hosting our next round of virtual stakeholder workshops to keep you all informed of the way that we are working together. You can find out more about our previous workshops..
Each workshop will be led by Jonathan Fellows, Black Country ICP and ICB Chair, Mark Axcell, Black Country ICB Chief Executive, along with leaders from our local health and care partnerships.
