Our third Governing Body Meeting for @NHSBSolCCG today. Visiting our North Locality. Robust discussion and sensible outcomes, thanks to all. Hoping for an England result tonight!🏴
Nearing the close of our #governingbody. A full agenda, with lots of good debate & challenge. Items included the #Birmingham & #Solihull STP, integrating health and social care for older people, the financial plan, and committee updates. Papers here: bit.ly/2IOYUkX#NHS
Great meeting yesterday with #myHealthcare at West Heath Medical Centre. Impressive work going across their 5 hubs. The virtual clinics seem to be making a big impact. Thanks to all.
I spent the morning visiting patients with the Woodgate Valley Health Centre Community Nursing Team. Amazing care and attention to patient needs. Many thanks the Team.
