On the eve of our Care Closer to Home conference, we explore the urgent need to shift healthcare from hospitals to primary and community settings. Despite decades of ambition, acute priorities still dominate. In this episode we hear from Birmingham and Solihull ICB on the shifts they’ve been making in this area. 

Joining Matthew in the conversation is Paul Sherriff, executive director of Birmingham and Solihull ICB; Richard Kirby, chief executive of Birmingham Community Healthcare and Ruth Rankine, Director of the NHS Confederations Primary Care Network.

Plus, our Leader in Six with Helen Ray, outgoing chief executive of North East Ambulance Service.
