 Focus

We are a health service not an illness service.  That means our focus is on working with all our partners to improve the health of people living and working in Walsall. 

 

Our board

We are run by a board made up of executive directors, who work full time for the trust, and non-executive directors who bring skills and experience from other walks of life.  The board is led by a chairman.
