Our Partners
The Strategy Unit exists to improve outcomes. Our expertise in clear thinking and applied analysis improves decision making and implementation. Our support is most valuable where the need for innovation is high and the suitability of standard approaches is low.
The Strategy Unit works in the NHS, for the NHS. We are part of Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit. Our staff are NHS employees and they are animated by NHS values. Growing the NHS advisory and analytical workforce is essential to our mission to create a real legacy from the PHM Academy.

NHS England and NHS Improvement (Midlands)
NHS England and NHS Improvement in the Midlands have commissioned this programme to accelerate Population Health Management practise in the region. It has been designed collaboratively with the national team responsible for population health, Public Health England (PHE), the Local Government Association (LGA) and STPs.
The Midlands region is keen to be at the forefront of developing Population Health Management as the foundation of Integrated Care. This will help drive out inequalities and make sure services, both health and care, are working together for improved patient outcomes. This work will support local systems as they develop Integrated Care.
