National leaders focus on strong and inclusive communities

Leaders from local and national organisations across England are meeting today to focus on reinforcing the importance of building community capacity in delivering people powered health and wellbeing for all.

The chief executives of NHS England, Public Health England, NHS Confederation and leaders from social care and the voluntary & community sector will work together to consider what action needs to be taken to harness the power of communities to deliver better health and wellbeing. The seminar will focus on identifying the greatest opportunities for working together so leaders can strengthen the combined approach of all organisations working to empower communities.

The result will be a strategic briefing setting out key messages and opportunities for national collaboration to create the conditions for change to happen locally and to deliver the vision outlined in a number of frameworks and initiatives including the NHS Five Year Forward View (opens new window) and TLAP's Framework for Health & Wellbeing Boards "Developing the Power of Strong & Inclusive Communities".
