Working with partners such as Clinical Research Network-West Midlands and Aston University Community Connexions (part of the Research and Innovation team) is a patient and public engagement programme that seeks to spotlight the lived experiences of local communities in Birmingham regarding their health and access to healthcare services. Community Connexions team have organised a range of engagement sessions through listening events, focus groups, community clinics and other outreach activities. This helps to adapt our services to better meet local needs, inform future health research and develop understanding for prevailing health inequalities across these regions.
