The Fylde Coast Integrated Care Partnership – known locally as Healthier Fylde Coast – is part of a wider system of partnership working across Lancashire and South Cumbria – known as Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria.

We’re facing some really significant challenges across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre. In understanding these challenges we aim to tackle them head on. We want to make sure people living on the Fylde Coast have the very best health and care services possible.

With this in mind we have spent the past few months working closely as a local health and care partnership to develop the first draft of our five year strategy.

Our partnership working across the Fylde Coast is supported by a clear vision:

Healthier Fylde Coast: Improving health and care together

By working more closely together we will deliver three key aims:

Our strategy has already been influenced by a huge amount of feedback from our staff, clinicians, wider stakeholders and people living on the Fylde Coast. We now want to take the first draft of our strategy ‘on the road’ to seek people’s views on the effectiveness of our priorities to meet the challenges ahead.

We’re excited about the future, we’re ready to make some big changes and by working together we will improve health and care for people living on the Fylde Coast.
