Home » System Insight Network

We want to ensure that experiences and ideas from our residents, partners and communities inform and shape health and care services in our area, helping with our mission to improve healthy life expectancy and reduce health inequalities in our communities. 

Community-led insights provide a richer and more inclusive approach to informing health and care strategy and decision-making. 

Each year we will hold four System Insight Network meetings, giving interested parties, and residents the opportunity to share their views on a wide range of health services.
