Leaders from commercial, academic and statutory organisations joined together at the first Healthy Villages conference at Faraday Wharf, Birmingham, to discuss pioneering initiatives aimed at integrating Birmingham’s health, wellbeing and social care agenda.

Healthy Villages is a new programme supporting communities to remain well for longer.

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust works alongside NHS commissioners, fellow providers Birmingham City Council and third sector organisations within local communities to make health and social care systems more proactive in their approach to wellbeing.
