Our Integrated Care Strategy sets out BSW Together’s ambition as partners working across the health, social care, voluntary and other sectors to support the people of BSW to live happier and healthier for longer. Importantly, therefore, this is a strategy for us all, not just the NHS. We cannot help BSW residents to improve their health and wellbeing by working in silos – we can only do so by working together.

The strategy has been informed by existing strategies, such as local authorities’ Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategies, as well as conversations with partners and the public on many different topics and in many different forums across BSW.

It provides a vision for the next five years, uniting partners behind three clear objectives. These are:

• Focus on prevention and early intervention
• Fairer health and wellbeing outcomes
• Excellent health and care services

The intention is for the strategy to continue to evolve over the coming years as we hear and learn more from local people and our colleagues who deliver our services. Crucially, this strategy is not just about serving our residents, it is about working with them as active partners.
