Data from your local services is used to help researchers and care providers:

  • to understand the health needs of your community
  • to develop and test new treatments and services
  • to improve care where you live and work.

Your region’s Integrated Care Systems (ICS)

Within the West Midlands, we work with a number of local Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Each one addresses the needs of its community and coordinates NHS services, local councils, voluntary organisations and more. The ICSs include:

What this means for you locally

  • Better care – data is used to identify where services can be improved, so you may see changes or innovation in your area.
  • Community involvement – you can have a say in how data is used. (See our Get Involved webpage.)
  • Reassurance – your data is handled securely and with safeguards in place. The SDE uses frameworks to ensure safe data use.
  • Transparency – we provide information about which projects are using data, how it is used and why it matters.

Birmingham and Solihull ICS

We’re bringing together our local NHS, councils and voluntary, community and faith sectors so we can better serve the 1.3 million people in Birmingham and Solihull. Together we are Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System (ICS), united by our vision to make our area the healthiest place to live and work, driving equity in life chances and health outcomes for everyone.

 

Black Country ICS

Our Integrated Care System (ICS), known as Healthier Futures, brings providers and commissioners of NHS services together with local authorities and other local partners to plan and deliver joined-up health and care services, and to improve the lives of people who live and work in the Black Country.

 

Coventry and Warwickshire ICS

Together, we are sharing knowledge and pooling resources. And together, we have a plan for improving health and care. We are working to help everyone lead healthier and happier lives, be part of a strong community and benefit from effective and sustainable health and care services where and when they need them most.

Herefordshire and Worcestershire ICS

From family doctors, to mental health staff, community teams and our major hospitals, we’re using our collective resources, skills and expertise to make care and support better for our residents across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. 

 

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICS

We are a partnership of NHS and local government organisations, alongside independent and voluntary sector groups, working closely to transform health and care services to deliver world class care that meets the current and future needs of our rural and urban populations.
