PiF West Midlands Partnership event
Mon 31st January 2011, NHS West Midlands, Birmingham
60 staff from all sectors across the West
Midlands attended the PiF Partnership Conference which was sponsored by
Capita's Information Standard and the Society of Chief Librarians (SCL)
and funded and supported by PiF.
The morning consisted mostly of
region-wide news including the launch of the Public Libraries' Health
& Wellbeing Toolkit and the signed MOU between NHS West Midlands and
the SCL and news about EQUIP's migration onto NHS local. There was a
networking session where delegates were split geographically into groups
for some partnership work and planning for this year's Health
Information Week.
After lunch there was a series of
presentations, sharing information about great examples of partnerships
that are showing impact on local communities. Delegates had opportunity
to bring their own leaflets and fliers to the information table and
browse these and PiF materials in the breaks as well as talking to
Capita and NHS local who had stands at the conference.
The
conference venue was full and we had a waiting list so there is
definitely interest in such events for the future or to replicate in
other regions. Sarah is happy to share her experiences/lessons learned
with anyone - sarah.greening@westmidlands.nhs.uk.
