West Yorkshire Integrated Neighbourhood Health Webinar Series – Population Health Management

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WY ICB) is running a monthly Integrated Neighbourhood Health (INH) webinar series.

The third in our series covers Population Health Management and will be led by Sohail Abbas, Sarah Smith, Becky Barwick and Gemma Howorth.

This session introduces population health management concepts and components, demonstrates population needs assessment at West Yorkshire System level, using Wakefield as an example to show how machine learning can identify people at risk of emergency admissions. Discover how data-driven insights could support proactive, neighbourhood-level care in your place.

Who should attend

Anyone working across West Yorkshire involved in neighbourhood-based services, including NHS managers, local authority leaders, primary care professionals, and VCSE partners. Whether you’re directly delivering INH or want to understand how your work connects to this system-wide shift, these sessions will help you reflect on what might work in your own context. They are honest and safe spaces, with time to discuss and ask questions, and take learning away into your own practice.

The webinars focus on different topics that are important to successfully developing and delivering neighbourhood health. Each supports the sharing of ideas, good practice, and learning, contributing to the creation of a shared learning environment across West Yorkshire.

Integrated Neighbourhood Health is key to delivering the Government’s 10-year Health plan for England: Fit for the Future, which sets out shifts from hospital to community, from treatment to prevention, and from analogue to digital. But delivering this transformation requires us to learn from each other: sharing what works, what doesn’t and why.

This series is designed to:

• Bring together NHS, Local Authority, Community and VCSE partners from across West Yorkshire to share real-world learning
• Create space for honest reflection and discussion: not just polished success stories but practical challenges and how teams are navigating them
• Build capabilities across the system by exploring the different enablers of INH delivery
• Support you to take away transferable insights you can apply in your own neighbourhood work or local context
• Connect colleagues facing similar challenges so we learn as a system, not in isolation
