West Midlands SHA:
The SHA was created by the Government in 2002 to manage the local NHS on behalf of the Secretary for State. As the present 28 SHAs are reorganised to 10 new SHAs as part of on going Health Reforms for England, the Birmingham and the Black Country SHA join neighbouring SHAs to form the new West Midlands SHA. The functions of the new SHA are:

• strategic leadership;
• organisational and workforce development; and
• ensuring local systems operate effectively and deliver improved performance.

Teamwork is a leading clinical and healthcare consultancy.

Teamwork has extensive experience in developing future service models for care inside, and outside of, hospital. Their team also works closely with managers and ‘front line’ clinicians to improve services for patients by changing clinical practice and introducing more productive ways of working.

• developing alternative healthcare models and changing clinical practice;
• supporting organisations to plan and manage future investment and capacity;
