regional collaboration

We have been awarded funding from NIHR Centre for Engagement and Dissemination to undertake a small project to look at ways we can have stronger regional collaboration in the West Midlands

Our aim is to co-create a vision for effective collaborative working between organisations involving public contributors in the West Midlands.

The key objectives are:

1. To better understand and share the current capacity and infrastructure for supporting and delivering public involvement, engagement and participation in the West Midlands;

2. To identify the key components that will improve more effective collaborative working in the region;

3. To co-develop an early Vision and Strategic Objectives for a strong regional infrastructure in the West Midlands to facilitate more efficient and simpler pathways to involvement, engagement and participation;

4. To share our Vision and Strategic Objectives with regional stakeholders and provide an opportunity for them to consider what they can do individually and collectively to help us achieve our vision.
