Our Opportunities and Challenges
Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin is a beautiful place to live and work, but there is more that we can do to improve people’s lives, tackle inequalities, and address the cause of loneliness, poverty and obesity. As a system we are committed to working ‘together as one’ to seek opportunities to work differently to join services up, maximise the opportunities of innovation and digital technology and ensure our environments are fit for our staff to deliver world-class modern-day health and care services. We are working in partnership across statutory and non-statutory health and care providers, through open and compassionate relationships; organising teams as locally as possible, and working with our communities, volunteers, and staff, to enable our populations to live healthier lives. Equally, our size enables us to be agile and fleet of foot in terms of decision making and delivery. However, there is a lot to do and there are some significant challenges for us to respond to.
