This report summarises the work done to date and provides an evaluation of the numerous Communities for Health led projects across local areas in the West Midlands. A key aim of the report is to provide future direction and support for commissioners in deciding where and how to invest public health resources to improve the health of our communities and reduce health inequalities. The report from the network identifies and shares good practice, highlights positive outcomes and provides important information for commissioners and providers about public heath practice that is effective, efficient and is expected to have maximum impact. The West Midlands Communities for Health Network is hosted by Sandwell Local Authority in conjunction with Learning for Public Health, West Midlands.
