Black Country Integrated Care Board is the NHS organisation responsible for commissioning (planning and buying) healthcare services for the people registered with a GP in Walsall.

Walsall’s Placed Partnership is called Walsall Together.

Walsall Together is a partnership of health, social, housing, voluntary and community association organisations that are working together to improve physical and mental health outcomes, promote wellbeing and reduce inequalities across the borough.

 

They aim to work more closely together to reduce the widening gaps in health inequalities by focusing on not just health but the wider determinants such as housing, education and employment and the vital role that people and communities play in health and wellbeing.

 

Local voluntary organisations, charities, community groups and the people of Walsall are at the centre of this planning and decision making.

 

In doing this, they hope to understand the local population better, so they can better support people and the communities they live in, to manage their own health and wellbeing needs, prevent ill health and live happier lives.

 

Partners of Walsall Together include:

  • Housing (whg)
  • Voluntary, community and social enterprises (including One Walsall and Community Associations)
  • Healthwatch Walsall
  • Primary Care Networks (General Practice)
  • Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust
  • Walsall Council
  • Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
  • NHS Black County Integrated Care Board

 

They aim to:

  • promote equality and reduce inequalities by focusing on the wider determinants to health
  • provide high quality and accessible care for all who need it
  • improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for the population of Walsall
  • develop a skilled, motivated, and happy workforce
  • make the best use of partnership resources
