Report of Liz Gaulton, Director of Public Health and Wellbeing

The Board considered a report of Liz Gaulton, Director of Public Health and Wellbeing concerning the outcomes of the Place Forum meeting held on 6^th March and the initial plans for the next Forum meeting on 11^th June. Endorsement was also sought for the Outcomes Framework which had been adopted by the Place Forum, a copy of which was set out at an appendix to the report.

The report set out the aims of the March meeting and highlighted the acknowledgement that collaboration between the Boards had reached a level of maturity and there was a real opportunity for the Forum to play a key role in the future, reviewing its position in light of the NHS Long Term Plan and the refresh of the STP Plan by autumn 2019.

At the meeting the Place Forum:

·  Received an update on the Year of Wellbeing and encouraged members to increase its impact within their own organisations.

·  Supported the approach taken in the updated outcome framework and the application to the four ‘places’ (Coventry, Rugby, North Warwickshire and South Warwickshire), and agreed that the indicators around ‘effective services’ were heavily focused on hospitals and should include a measure about people supported to live at home.

·  Received a presentation from Sean Russell, West Midlands Combined Authority, about the Thrive at Work workplace wellbeing programme and undertook a table exercise to encourage further actions and commitment.

·  Received interactive updates on the place-based JSNA, Carers Week 2019, Integrated Care System (ICS) and NHS Long Term Plan.

The following actions were agreed as part of the Place Plan, a copy of which was set out at a second appendix to the report:

·  Continue to lead and support the Year of Wellbeing

·  Further develop the outcome framework for oversight of performance across the system and to mobilise action by partners to address identified challenges

·  Consider the opportunities to further improve workplace wellbeing, including applying the Thrive at Work framework

·  Form a sub-group to explore synergies between Thrive at Work and the STP mental health and community resilience strategy

·  Health and Wellbeing Board Chairs to meet the new independent chair of the STP (Better Health Better Care Better Value) to explore the future role of the Place Forum

·  Continue to update each other on changes which impact on the work of the Place Forum, including ICS and the STP refresh.

The Board noted the anticipated items for the next Place Forum on 11^th June which included a session on the social isolation theme of the Year of Wellbeing; Integrated Care System governance; engagement on ICS strategic framework development; and updates and briefings on other key developments impacting on the Place Forum.

The Board discussed potential changes to the indicators contained within the Outcomes Framework. Several suggested changes had been requested by the Place Forum and these were being reviewed.

(1) The outcomes on the Place Forum meeting held on 6^th March be noted.

(2) The use of the Place Forum Outcomes Framework for oversight of performance across the system and to mobilise action by partners to address identified challenges be endorsed, noting the intention to review the indicators.
