Read our plain English guide to understand why we need to change health and care services across Lancashire and South Cumbria
All the feedback collected from these areas has been fed into developing a vision for health and care across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
We benefit from services that are already working in partnership. The people and groups involved in those services know we are facing some really tough challenges. They realise we need to act now to ensure we can safeguard our services for the future.
This website provides information about the work of the partnership and gives the opportunity to get involved locally.

‘Better Care Together’ is a review of health and social care services for Morecambe Bay. It is being led by ten health organisations known as Bay Health and Care Partners. This area covers north Lancashire and south Cumbria.
Our Health Our Care is a programme which aims to deliver joined up health and social care to everyone throughout Greater Preston, Chorley and South Ribble.
Together A Healthier Future is a programme to improve our health and care system in Pennine Lancashire, which is made up of East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen.
Health and care organisations on the Fylde Coast are working together to make ‘Your Care, Our Priority’. To do this we are bringing together health and care professionals, as well as the community and voluntary sector, to create one integrated healthcare system on the Fylde Coast.
This means joining up different parts of health and care services so that they work seamlessly together. We know from talking to patients and the public that this doesn’t always happen. This not only means bad experiences for patients but also adds pressure to the local healthcare system
We are in unique geographical position in West Lancashire, which requires us to look in the directions of both Lancashire and Merseyside.
The West Lancashire Local Delivery Plan involves monumental partner working. Not only with our Lancashire wide colleagues, but also our local partners such as CCG colleagues in Southport and Formby, West Lancashire Borough Council, Virgin Care, Southport & Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust, social care, our active voluntary community and faith sector, GP membership, patients, carers, our staff and many more.
