Our vision​

We want Perry Barr and Ladywood to be flourishing communities, where:

  • a focus on disease prevention through health education, early intervention and addressing the wider determinants of health results in a fundamentally healthier population
  • local people are helped to support and care for each other
  • professional help, including excellent health and care services, is accessible to everyone
  • residents know how to get the help they need
  • life expectancy is good for everyone, from birth onwards
  • people from all backgrounds experience wellness at all stages of life
our vision

We want a future where our public services:

  • actively listen to and work with local people and organisations as equals
  • work together
  • support each other

We want to be:

  • actively helping to bring about this change in our communities
  • a champion of co-production
  • a loudspeaker for our communities’ voices
  • an equal, valued and ambitious delivery partner for health and social care that really improves people’s lives  

Creating our own momentum, but working collaboratively,
our first priorities will be:

  • to build trust between third sector organisations and care providers, especially the NHS
  • within a challenging landscape, to advocate for and help to bring about successful primary care relationships for all, recognising it as the gateway to many health and social care services
  • to support the various areas that contribute to healthy pregnancies, births and early childhoods, such as maternal health and wellbeing, infant feeding and childhood vaccination
  • to address issues of specific relevance in our area, namely asthma, diabetes and obesity
  • to create a sense of community, mutual support and equal partnership through clear, regular communications and telling people’s stories
