The national 10 Year Health Plan, published in June 2026, sets out three major shifts for the NHS:

  • Hospital to community
  • Analogue to digital
  • Treatment to prevention

Across Birmingham, the Black Country and Solihull, NHS organisations and partners are already working together to turn these ambitions into action.

This section showcases some of the work underway across our system to improve access to services, support earlier intervention, make better use of technology and deliver more care closer to where people live.

From community-based services and digital innovation to prevention, earlier diagnosis and more personalised support, these examples demonstrate how teams across the system are changing the way care is delivered and helping people to live healthier lives.
