The Wellbeing East Network has a new page called Wellbeing East: Health & Social Care Reform and the NHS 5yr Forward View
NHS England requires every area to produce a Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STP) as part of the NHS Five Year Forward View . This presents a great opportunity for local infrastructure. STPs are local blueprints that every part of the country will need to produce for “accelerating its implementation of the Forward View” STPs may give you a new opportunity to develop your relationship with the partners in your local health and care system (as NHS England calls them) – as they will want to show they are engaging with the voluntary sector.
Race Equality Foundation, in partnership with the LGBT Foundation, Disability Rights UK, and Men’s Health Forum have launched the Equality Delivery System for the NHS (EDS2): Guide to Engagement with the Local Voluntary Sector, commissioned by NHS England.

But Self care is under used and self care support is often remains under commissioned.
