Building Health Partnerships is a programme funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, NHS England and NHS Improvement that builds relationships between the VCSE sector and Integrated Care Systems to deliver improvements to care and health for local people. It aims to deliver transformational changes to health and social care through developing and building partnerships between the health sector, the VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) sector and local people; with a particular emphasis on facilitating patient participation in service design and reducing health inequalities.
It offers ICSs a comprehensive package of support to help develop cross-sector relationships and strengthen the foundations for transforming healthcare commissioning and delivery by:
BHP provides an opportunity for ICSs to develop a model of shared leadership with VCSE organisations and people in communities. It focuses engagement on an area/issue of local healthcare systems (and ICS objectives), to produce tangible outcomes and an exemplar for others of what can be achieved through more effective joined-up working.
We are providing tailored support for co-production to nine Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) or Integrated Care System (ICS) in two cohort. Work in each area being led by a ‘steering group’ formed of senior leaders from both the VCSE and the health and care sectors. Participating areas are be trying to break new ground and committed to trying things out at a locality level, then transferring or translating them to the wider local system. There are five elements to Building Health Partnerships include:
The first five STP/ICS areas that received our support included:
You will find case studies of the work in each of these areas here.
This Second Phase of the Building Health Partnership (BHP) programme focuses on Primary Care Networks and Population Health Management, supporting four ICSs to work in partnership with the VCSE sector locally. Our second cohort includes:
We will also support leadership training and develop a Practice Develop Network’ where community representatives and commissioners can share the best ways to ensure communities and patients are at the heart of STP/ICS’ plans.
