Focus on Neighbourhood Health with Our Health Partnership

Neighbourhood health is at the heart of the NHS’s drive to bring care closer to communities, with a focus on joined-up services that improve access, reduce health inequalities, and deliver better outcomes for patients.

In this context, we are pleased to invite you to a webinar with Dr Vish Ratnasuriya MBE, Chair of Our Health Partnership (OHP), one of the UK’s largest GP partnerships. In 2015, Vish helped establish OHP and was elected its Chair. OHP has 47 practices, and 10 Primary Care Networks serving 467,000 patients and has national recognition for quality, safety and innovation. OHP also co-founded the Primary Care Accelerator, a programme embedded within OHP, giving innovators the ability to test, develop and scale across the NHS.

In this session, Vish will share his insights on building a large, collaborative model that balances local autonomy with the benefits of scale, ensuring consistency, resilience, and growth opportunities across partner practices. With neighbourhood health now a central element of the NHS’s 10 Year Health Plan, this is a valuable opportunity for ABHI members to hear first-hand how such models are being delivered in practice, the lessons learned, and how these developments could shape future opportunities for industry engagement. As a local leader within the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System, Vish will also provide an important perspective on current initiatives that are bringing partners together to improve population health and reduce inequalities across the region.

Vish was involved at the very highest level in the development of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, and similarly is currently involved in the development of the Neighbourhood Health and Technology and Innovation elements of the delivery plans.

We look forward to members joining this session.
