Workshops to help shape NHS 10-year health plan

November 22, 2024

The NHS, in collaboration with local authorities and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector organisations, is committed to improving the quality of patient care and health outcomes and building a health service fit for the future.

To achieve this, the NHS is embarking on the largest public engagement exercise in its history to develop a new 10-Year Health Plan, set to launch in 2025.

As part of this initiative, the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB) is hosting a series of face to face and online workshops throughout December, providing patients, their families, and the wider public an opportunity to share their experiences, ideas, and hopes for the NHS.

These panels aim to capture your diverse perspectives to inform immediate improvements and long-term changes in healthcare delivery.

Mark Axcell, Chief Executive Officer for the NHS Black Country ICB, said: “It is your experiences—good, bad, and sometimes frustrating—that will help shape this once-in-a-generation opportunity to make the NHS fit for the future. “This is your chance to be part of shaping a modern, effective, and resilient NHS. So, please take part in one of the workshops and have your say in building a health service that works for everyone.”
