Abstract: |
This film introduces health and wellbeing boards, a new statutory approach to the provision of integrated health and local government services. It looks at the establishment of a shadow health and wellbeing board in Birmingham and follows their approach to joint working and providing joined-up services. The film begins with a discussion of why there is a need for more joined up provision. Professor Jon Glasby, Director of the Health Management Services Centre at the University of Birmingham describes the historical division between health and social care, outlining the need for an integrated approach to match the complexities and joined up nature of people's lives. The film also describes how the partnership has worked with the University of Birmingham to facilitate and support the formation of their shadow board and a GP then describes how this approach has opened his mind to the importance of working together to tackle public health issues such as obesity. The film finishes with a reminder that in a time of unprecedented financial pressure, joint working is even more important and that seeing the world in broader terms and finding new ways of working is crucial to people's health and wellbeing. |
