Delivering integrated neighbourhood care in East Birmingham

Neighbourhood hubs are playing a key role in delivering the UK government’s goal of providing better integrated, localised health and social care services by shifting care from hospital to community, (more local care), from analogue to digital (tech-enabled services), and from sickness to prevention (focusing on well-being and early intervention). Washwood Heath Health & Wellbeing Centre (WWH) was the first neighbourhood hub to go live in Birmingham and Solihull. Located in East Birmingham, it launched as a pilot site to test and shape a new Birmingham and Solihull Neighbourhood Health Service model that was adopted to mobilise a further five Locality hubs across Birmingham and Solihull during October 2025.

WWH is one of the most advanced examples of how we are delivering integrated care in a neighbourhood. The hub currently houses an integrated neighbourhood team, a care co-ordination centre, a diagnostics facility, a Respiratory Same Day Emergency Care service and an on-site Heart Failure service. More services will launch in the future dependent on local need.

There is an opportunity to visit this hub and meet some of the teams involved on Wednesday 14th April from 10-123:0am.

Delivering personal, community and civic transformation for a better tomorrow

This visit introduces delegates to the Nishkam Centre, a faith inspired organisation that brings volunteers, community groups and public services together to support health and wellbeing. The Centre’s approach is grounded in shared values, inclusive practice and long term collaboration across civic, health and social care partners.

During the visit, delegates will take part in a short introduction to the Centre’s model and partnerships before joining a guided walk across the campus. This provides an opportunity to meet team members, volunteers and, where appropriate, community members who contribute to the Centre’s activities. Conversations focus on how the organisation builds trust, creates welcoming spaces and works with statutory services to address local needs.

The visit supports reflection on how values based leadership and community participation can strengthen integrated care. Delegates will explore practical examples of how cultural and faith informed approaches can enhance engagement, build relationships and improve coordination between sectors. There will also be space for questions on inclusive practice, collaboration with health and civic teams and how similar approaches might be adapted within other settings.

This visit introduces delegates to Ikon Creative Health, a programme that explores how art can contribute to more connected and equitable approaches to health and care. Delegates will take part in a short series of presentations from artists, collaborators, and Ikon team members before viewing What are the odds?, an exhibition that draws on collaborative research and lived experience across the life course. The exhibition examines themes such as infant feeding, ageing, and dying well, communication in African Caribbean communities and the invisibility of people with learning disabilities in long stay settings. It highlights how creative practice can support public health priorities and help people share experiences in ways that strengthen understanding between communities and health and care systems. The session lasts approximately 90 minutes and is designed for delegates to explore how cultural organisations can work alongside statutory services, civic partners and communities. The visit also reflects the wider connection between the exhibition and ICIC26’s focus on community engagement and creative health, offering practical insight into partnerships that span arts, public health, and integrated care. The visit departs the conference centre at 10:30am.
