Coventry Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023-2026

The Coventry & Warwickshire Integrated Care System was formalised following the statutory reforms in the Health & Care Act 2022 along with the establishment of the new Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).  The local authority has worked with these new partnerships to ensure a commitment to prioritise prevention and improve future health outcomes through tackling health inequalities across Coventry. 

Embedding action to tackle inequalities at both strategic and operational levels is the key focus of local authority public health and an integral part of ICS work.  A strategic plan has been developed with the ICS to support the realisation of these actions.[1]

One of the key actions for the integrated care partnership is the development of the Integrated Care Strategy, which sets out the 5-year ambition to improve population health and wellbeing in its broadest sense, with a wide range of partners working together to improve health outcomes and tackle healthcare inequalities.  For more information on the Integrated Care Strategy, visit https://www.happyhealthylives.uk/integrated-care-partnership/icp-strategy/.

The Integrated Care Board is developing a five-year Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Health and Care Delivery Plan as the health and care system shared delivery plan for the Integrated Care Strategy. It is recognised that delivering the vision set out in the Integrated Care Strategy will require the combined efforts of health and care system and wider partners in the ICS, with key activity being driven through the two Health and Wellbeing Strategies and aligned delivery plans.  The focus of the Delivery Plan is predominantly the ‘integrated health and care system’ quadrant of the population health model but will link into the work of the wider system.
