Working with partners, the ICB have agreed on an ambitious vision which is ‘working with you to make Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent the healthiest place to live and work.’ This means, we need to work flexibly – now and in the future – and our structures must enable us to deliver these priorities and to work collaboratively. 

To support this change, ICB staff are in teams that are either:

• Primarily portfolio focused – working with providers and provider collaboratives to deliver the operating plan and work up transformation or
• Primarily enablers – working with the system to ensure the ICB is well governed, has a clearly defined strategy and is delivering its plan through good governance, sound stewardship and with the right focus on clinical; safety and a people focus.
